subject: Sciatica Pain Relief - 3 Methods For Fast Sciatica Pain Relief! [print this page] It's common to think that sciatica is a disease but in fact it's a condition caused by a herniated disc in the lower back, sciatic nerve inflammation or when it's under strong pressure. There are a lot of medical treatments for sciatica pain relief but here I am going to share with you few methods that you don't need a doctor to apply! Ready to get rid of sciatica? Let's go
The first things you have to do is to change a little bit your sleeping and sitting habits. The mattress you use right now is probably very comfortable but for fast sciatica pain relief you'll have to start sleeping on a firm and a little hard surface. I really suggest you to put something flat under the shits and cover it with something soft. Sleep on your back and in few days you'll feel a serious pain relief.
Exercises they are great for sciatica pain relief and for preventing sciatica in the future. In the beginning you want to start with the stretches for the buttocks muscles, you'll find tons of them online. Perform them 3-4 times a day to loose the muscles that put pressure on the sciatic nerve. After a few days when the pain will be gone, you can start with strength exercises for your lower back to prevent the sciatica in the future!
Ice compress packs work great and they are very easy to make. The bad news are that it won't cure you but they are great for a quick sciatica pain relief! Just take some ice or even frozen vegetables and apply it on the back. By doing it 2-3 times a day you will ease the pain after 2 days maximum. But as I said it's not a cure so don't expect too much out of it!
