How to Quickly Relieve Sciatic Nerve Pain (Sciatica)?
Sciatica is one of the most intense and debilitating types of pain, often felt in the lower back, buttock, and down the back of the leg. Common causes include disc herniation, muscle spasms, poor posture, or lifting incorrectly.
Here are some immediate relief methods:
1. Relief Position:
Lie face down at the edge of a sofa or bed, placing a large pillow or bolster under your abdomen so your lower back gently stretches and your legs hang freely. Stay 15–20 minutes.
2. Cold Therapy:
In the first 24 hours, apply an ice pack wrapped in a towel for 15–20 minutes every 2–3 hours to reduce inflammation and acute pain.
3. Gentle Stretching:
Lie on your back and slowly draw your knee toward your chest, holding for 20–30 seconds.
4. Self-Massage:
Gentle massage on the buttock and thigh can ease tension and improve circulation.
5. Gentle Twist (PIR Technique):
A careful, gentle spinal twist away from the painful side can help release tension.
If pain persists, professional assessment is vital. I invite you for a thorough evaluation, consultation, and personalised treatment to effectively address and eliminate your pain from the very first session.
Take care!
