Relief of Sciatica

You Relieve Sciatic pain many different ways. I will list ONLY four ways below:

Walking

Take the time out for a brisk 30 minute to 45 minutes walk. This will help your pelvis balance, muscles relax and help with your range of motion. Walk as long as it's not painful. 

Self- Massage

Place your right and left hand on either side of your thigh wrapping your hands. Start with light gentle pressure to warm up the muscles. Pull your fingers from back side of your knee all the way to your hip. Don't forget to get the lateral and inner side of the leg. Reverse and massage the front of your leg all the way down the feet.

Ice & Heat

Place ice on the area for 10 minutes to reduce swelling & inflammation. Replace with heat for 10 minutes and you improve the blood supply which helps the healing. Alternate 3 times in each cycle.

Stretch

The tightness of the piriformis muscle is the most common cause of sciatic pain. This muscle is located deep in the buttocks behind the Gluteals. By stretching the Piriformis muscle it will relieve the tension of the muscle pressing on the sciatic nerve that runs through the muscle. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds. Repeat until you feel relief.
