Say Goodbye to Sciatica

Sciatica is a common and painful condition. It often causes radiating pain down the leg, which can be debilitating to the point that you don’t want to move. This can disrupt your life and prevent you from participating in the activities you enjoy.

About 13-40% of people will experience sciatica at some point in their lives. Sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve becomes compressed. The sciatic nerve is a large nerve that runs from your lower back, through the buttocks, down your legs, all the way down to your feet. Usually, treatment entails addressing whatever underlying condition is causing sciatica in the first place.

In this article, we dive into the typical symptoms and causes associated with sciatica, as well as the top five stretches and exercises you can do to help ease your symptoms.

Your core are the muscles that support your spine and contribute to good spinal health. By improving the strength and flexibility of these muscles, you may prevent back pain – or at least reduce the risk.

By moving more, you may also become more aware of your body. This can help prevent sciatic through better posture and better movements, such as proper form when you go to lift a heavy object. All in all, sciatica does not have to become a recurring problem that haunts you throughout your life. You can proactively take steps toward preventing it, while also improving your overall health.

When to See a Doctor About Your Sciatic Pain

Acute or mild sciatica will frequently go away with time. However, if you are experiencing severe pain or weakness in the buttocks and legs, have increasing sciatic pain following a traumatic accident or injury, or have lost bowel or bladder control, seek out immediate medical attention. Although rare, these are a sign of a potentially more serious problem.

Say Goodbye to Sciatica

Sciatica frequently resolves within four to six weeks with proper care and exercise. Use the above five stretches and movements to help cope with your pain and alleviate your symptoms. If pain occurs during any movement, stop performing the exercise. Listen to your body and don’t force yourself beyond the point of pain. As with any exercise, it’s also important to stay hydrated. This can help prevent muscle cramping or spasms.
