Sciatic nerve pain, technically known as lumbar radiculopathy is a pain in the lower back and leg, including numbness, pins and needles or weakness. The pain is often felt in the buttock, thigh, calf, & the tingling can go to the toes. The LEG PAIN is often worse than the back (I accidentally said it the other way around in the video). The focus of this video is the most common cause, which is a disc herniation. If not by an accident or a fall, a disc herniation is most commonly caused by sitting or lifting weights incorrectly. While the advice and stretches in this video require time and effort, they are designed to help reduce inflammation and pain rapidly.
While the advice and stretches in this video require time and effort, they are designed to help reduce inflammation and pain rapidly. Every time, I have not been able to see a patient, I give them this exact advice and stretches over the phone and they improve significantly in a couple of days. These exercises are beginner exercises for stretching, watch this video for slightly more intermediate strengthening exercises.
I am a chiropractor and see a lot of patients who come for sciatica treatment. I explain in this video how the sciatic nerve can get irritated or compressed by a disc, cause inflammation and pain, and the sciatica symptoms. The best way to reduce inflammation is to use an ice pack. Another natural way to reduce inflammation is to use turmeric. I also give you 2 very easy ways to reduce the common causes of sciatica pain and 3 sciatica stretches/ stretching exercises including sciatic nerve flossing to reduce the pain and get relief in the leg and lower back. Sciatica or sciatic nerve pain, technically known as lumbar radiculopathy is a pain in the lower back and leg, including numbness, pins and needles or weakness. The pain is often felt in the buttock, thigh, calf and the tingling can go as far as the toes. While the causes can include spinal stenosis, piriformis syndrome, SI joint pain, the focus of this video is the most common cause which is a disc herniation. If not by an accident or a fall, a disc herniation is most commonly caused by sitting or lifting weights incorrectly.
The gold-standard method to diagnose a herniated, prolapsed, or bulged disc (commonly known as a slipped disc) is by having an MRI scan. The most commonly affected discs are between L4-5 and L5-S1.
