Let’s just get this out of the way, if you have structural complications with your spine or deep muscle tightness that has lead to sciatica, you’re going to need more than just skin creams and ointments to fully recover. What’s great though is using topical remedies in combination with other forms of therapy.

A popular form of topical treatment is through the use of Lidocaine. Most commonly, a patch laced with slow release Lidocaine is placed on the skin at the site of pain.
