5 Best Sciatica Stretches for a Herniated Disc – Ask Doctor Jo
In addition to a herniated disc, sciatic pain can be caused by a few different things. These are my 5 favorite stretches for sciatica from a herniated disc.

The first stretch is going to be on your stomach or in prone. Prone props are a great way to help “push” the disc back into place. Sometimes you get increased symptoms, but they should subside once you stop.
Next is a figure four stretch lying down. It is a great stretch for the piriformis muscle, and it also help if you are having pain from a herniated disc. You can modify it if needed.
The last three stretches, are really nerve glides or neural flossing. If you have sciatic pain from a herniated disc compressing on the nerve, glides can help loosen or free the nerve. It also helps if there is some scarring on the nerve. Be careful with these because nerves are very fragile, so less is more.

Very beneficial……
I’m 16 with a 8mm and a 5mm and i can’t centralize, is there any hope for non surgical relief?
Hi Dr. Jo. I am a subscriber,, Are the exercises for herniated disc pretty much the same for bulging discs? I have bulging discs in the lumbar, and I am so afraid of making them worse. One is contact with the nerve root at L4. But I feel I need to get moving if I can.
Thank you so much for the video! Sciatic nerve pain is no joke!!
Excellent works a treat 👍🏻
Instant Relief thank you so much!! My back hurts where every one says that sciatica pain is and occasionally I’ll feel it in my hip and leg but not often. How can I be sure it’s sciatica and not something else?
Thank you so so much !

Hello doctor you are so kind ! God bless!
I just had a question. I first noticed a weird numbness in my left leg knee down wards after doing 4 sets of 100 slow inner thigh pilates ring… I had an MRI which said I had DDD and bulging disc L5 S1.
It’s been two months. I had back inflammation, which is better now. My leg was also better but it seems to fluctuate. I still seem to have a pulled nerve feeling in my left leg knee down wards…on the top bone of my left leg knee down wards mainly , nothing in my calves.
I don’t have serve pain just discomfort and very slight annoying pain . Is what I have sciatica from herniated disc ?
