An intervertebral disk can pressure a nerve due to a protrusion and cause a painful condition known as sciatica. Sciatica is the pain in the sciatic nerve which spans from the lower back to the hips and buttocks and down to each leg. This condition can occur due to any type of damage to the nerve channels.
Lumbar pains are felt in the upper leg, calves, knees and feet. They are continuous and can also cause a tingling sensation and numbness that can impair your movement. Usually, the pain is felt in one leg and is stronger than regular lumbar pain. This is called sciatic pain and it is usually stronger overnight and after a prolonged time of standing, sneezing, straining and coughing. The usual treatment for sciatica involves conventional medications and painkillers, but they are often ineffective and highly damaging to your organs. What you should know is that there are simple stretching exercises that can reduce the pain in just a short time.
Exercises for stretching the sciatic nerve
These stretching exercises will reduce the inflammation and pain in your back and legs. They won’t be easy at first, but you can start slow and work your way up.
Do these stretches regularly to stimulate the blood flow, eliminate muscle stagnation and accelerate your recovery, but most importantly, to reduce the sciatica pain.
