Two Important Sciatica Stretching Exercises for Sciatic Pain Relief
Sciatic nerve pain, best-known as a condition called sciatica, is an illness that when left untreated can become distressing and overwhelming, and really degrade your quality of life.Sciatica stretching exercises can offer sciatic pain relief, but it is important to first understand what causes sciatica.
Sciatica is essentially damage to the sciatic nerve that is triggered by pinching of
the nerve from tight muscles, or stress being placed on the nerve. Because the sciatic nerve starts in your lower back, and travels down, all the way through the back of your leg and hamstrings, excessively tight muscles can create a pinch, which can cause back pain .
In General tight muscles indicate a weakness in other muscles in the
surrounding area, and that is the most common cause of sciatica.You can overcome this, and ease the painful nerve by regular sciatica exercises .
Another cause of sciatic nerve damage is occupations such as truck driving, where you are sitting for a prolonged period, and being bounced around at the same time, which applies pressure and stress on the sciatic nerve. A herniated lumbar disc can also cause sciatica, which then it would be better to avoid sciatica stretches without talking to your physician first, as this could end up harming your sciatic nerve further.
In order to decide which type of sciatica you may be suffering from, try this simple exercise. Sit in a chair and stretch the leg with the side you are having pain on, out straight. If this aggravates your sciatic nerve pain, chances are you are suffering from true sciatica related to a herniated disk.Another test that is helpful in discovering where your sciatica is originating from, is gently pulling your knee on your tender side, to your shoulder on the same side. Then gently pull the same knee to the opposite shoulder, and gauge the pain. If it is significantly more painful pulling to the opposite shoulder, tight muscles are the most likely culprit for your sciatica.
Here are 2 simple Sciatic nerve stretching exercises you can perform in order to help relieve sciatica depending on which type you may be suffering from. Lying flat on your back, pull your knee up to each shoulder.This can help stretch out tight hamstrings. Be careful though as this can exacerbate a herniated disc problem.
The second sciatica stretchesyou can perform is a yoga move, where you lie flat on your tummy, and proper yourself up on your elbows while looking up slightly. The slight curve this creates in your back helps to relieve pressure and pain. However again, be careful as this can exacerbate a facet problem that could be causing your sciatica.
Also it is good to note that pain may increase for a bit when doing this sciatica stretch, but usually with practice it improves. Get up and take a break between reps, walk it off. Both of these sciatica exercises can help you heal, as long as you perform them several times a day for as long as you have nerve pain or numbness, and there are no other causes of your sciatica you are unaware of.
One thing to keep in mind is that sciatica is seldom caused by just one factor. Sometimes, it may be due to facet syndrome, which I briefly mentioned above. That involves rear joints at the base of your spine. In such case, extending your back like mentioned above can actually exacerbate your symptoms, and it is suggested to lie flat on your back and hug your knees. However, again this can put pressure on any herniated disc problems. Thus the absolute best thing you can do is to see your doctor before performing any Sciatica nerve stretches, and find out exactly where the cause of the pain is originating from, is the safest and wisest route to take.You can then be referred to a medical specialist who can show you the proper exercises and sciatica stretches you should be attempting.
