Exercises For Sciatica
Sciatica is a broad term that we put use for pain or numbness that we may feel in the lower back, buttocks, and/or down the leg and even to the foot.
It is caused by compression and/or irritation of the sciatic nerve or the five roots of the nerve. The pain may be severe, and there may also be numbness, muscular weakness, and difficulty in moving / controlling the leg. Usually, the pain is only felt on one side.
Generally, when we have Sciatica, we’re naturally inclined to rest up; but this is not the best approach..
Actually, exercise is better for treating sciatic pain than bed rest.
What happens when we rest is that the muscles supporting and operating the back get out of condition. As a result, they’re less effective at supporting the back. This can then lead to further strain on the back, and more pain problems.
