Hi Sciatica can be prevented in some cases but in some, it needs a proper medicinal therapy. Yoga, acu-puncture, massage, spinal manipulation gives immediate relief too, but homoeopathic medicines have been used successfully in cases of sciatica. Yes, exercise regularly as it helps. You need to strengthen your core muscles of back and abdomen to have a proper alignment of bones and its underlying structures that relieves the pain. Using apple cider vinegar and salt in water is a good choice of management. But kindly start with homoeopathic treatment as it is quite effective in cases like yours.

Exercises are must. No food restriction. No role of apple cider vinegar. If you have sciatica pain, before starting exercises, get it treated with MIPI, which is usually the first best treatment. You can further discuss it in detail with me on lybrate.
