Sciatica Pain
Sciatica is one of the most common conditions that we treat at ProWellness Chiropractic.
By definition, sciatica is pain affecting the low back, or radiating down the hip and outer side of the leg, caused by compression of a spinal nerve root (L2-L4) in the lower back.
There are many stretches for relieving sciatica or sciatica-like symptoms. They are usually targeted at stretching the piriformis muscle in your hip area.
In this video, I demonstrate two at-home seated stretches for sciatica:
1. Figure-4 Stretch
2. Nerve Flossing (NEED THIS LINK)
Chiropractic adjustments and flexion-distraction can help with alleviating pressure on nerves and increasing range of motion in the low back. Stretches and exercises help the adjustments and maintain the range of motion.
