Why traditional medical care fails sciatica patients

The typical medical approach to treating sciatic pain and lumbar radiculopathy is medication and imaging. Sadly neither of these actually do anything to fix the problem. They certainly don’t do anything for, nor change the reason why you are having pain. In fact, some studies are showing it can make your pain worse. You may be living this already, and nodding your head in understanding and frustration, and we don’t blame you. Imaging has become so powerful that it can find things wrong on just about anyone. Furthermore, studies clearly show "abnormal" findings (such as DDD (Degenerative disc disease, OA (Osteoarthritis,) HNP's (herniated nucleus proplulsis (herniated disc), and even spinal stenosis in people that are aymptomatic (have nopain). So, if we can find these findings in normal people without pain, should we be using them to discover and prescribe treatments for someone who has them but does have pain?
