Hello sir,
The diagnosis of sciatica has to be evaluated as what is causing it.
It appears to be that she might be having spine problem with disc prolapse so might require evaluation as xrays and mri to look for cause.
For now as treatment there is need for lifestyle modification including work that involve weight lifting and bending should be avoided,sleeping on firm bed,sitting upright.
And please consult orthopaedician for thorough evaluation and treatment will be adviced by him.
Thank you.
