Sciatic Nerve Therapy - 3 Proven Stretches You Can Do Without Getting Up
Posted by admin in Prescription Pain Killers on August 12th, 2009
With the nastiness that is sciatica comes the fun that is sciatic nerve therapy. If you are talking to a doctor, this can be anything from popping a pill to alternating heat and ice, (really, are you kidding me?). If you are really lucky, you may even be recommended for back surgery (fun). While I know all of these options are a boatload of fun, there are also things you can do right now, in your own home, to relieve that sciatica pain.
1. The Back Stretch for Sciatic Nerve Therapy - This is the most fun of all these stretches. It is so relaxing.
a) lay on your back
b) bring your knees to your chest and grab onto your lower legs with your hands
c) rock to the left and the right
If your pain gets worse, always stop. Otherwise, aim for at least a 30 second session.
2. The Cat Stretch for Sciatic Nerve Therapy - This is a great yoga stretch. Really stretches the back.
a) start off on all fours
b) put your head down and pull your back up (think of a cat when it is stretching - hence the name)
c) hold this for 15-20 seconds and bring your back and head back to neutral
d) aim to do this three times
3. The Dead Man’s Stretch for Sciatic Nerve Therapy - This one got it’s name because nothing moves above the waist.
a) lay on your back, legs straight
b) bend right leg up
c) cross the bent right leg over the straight left leg
d) uncross the bent leg and then straighten it back out, both legs should be out straight now.
e) do the same thing with the other leg.
