Sciatica Home Treatment

Sciatica home treatment is most effective with the initial onset of pain. As we all know, having sciatic discomfort can be a "real pain in the butt". So try these tips and see if you can stop the pain.

Home treatment for sciatica may be just what you need if you have a minor case. In the first 48 hours, apply ice to the pain to help reduce the inflammation. Begin with 10 minutes on the area, 10 minutes off and repeat for a total of three times. These first few hours are crucial, so start acting fast.

Keep moving, not sprinting, but simply allow for blood flow. Do not stay seated for an extended period of time. Every thirty to forty five minutes stand up and do a short lap around the office. Too much inactivity can create more tightness. Do you feel tighter when you wake up in the morning? This is because the body has tightened from not moving and hopefully once you move about it will loosen. Another option is to try sleeping on a firmer mattress or even the floor if you can stand it.

Do light stretching when your muscles are lose and warm. Try stretching the piriformis muscle, as it has a close relation with the sciatic nerve. For this, sit in a chair with your feet touching the floor. Cross your right leg, so your right ankle is sitting on the top of your left knee. Lean forward while elongating your torso and bending towards your right leg. Hold this position for 10 seconds and repeat a few more times. Then do the same on the left leg. Do what feels comfortable and stretch as far as feels comfortable.
