You have explained very less symptoms and a diagnosis can not be reached on limited information. Let's consider it a sciatic nerve impingement in lower back as told by your doctor. The treatment will be:
1. A course of Anti inflammatory medications
2. Hot water fomentation.
3. Strengthening exercises (isometric) for lower back
4. Some stretching exercises
5. Rest, in case exercises are contraindicated.
6. Epidural injections to relieve pressure on the inflamed sciatic nerve.
