Topical Ointments
Not every painkiller works by taking a pill. Many sciatica patients find that they can get relief with a topical painkilling gel. These apply pain-blocking ingredients directly the affected area, so you get targeted relief.
Look for a gel that contains menthol or other analgesics. These ingredients directly block the pain receptors in the area where they are applied, and they also help to relax any muscle stiffness and boost circulation.
