In this video, I share with you a series of exercises and tips for sciatica pain relief. Watch the video till the end and follow my tips for quicker recovery.
The cause of sciatica:
The vast majority of cases of sciatica have a spinal cause, such as disc herniation or rupture causing impingement of L5 or S1 nerve roots.
Other common causes of sciatica can include spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and spondylolisthesis. There are also many non-spinal causes or sciatica, which are less common: These include piriformis syndrome, trauma, postoperative complications.
Sciatica is mainly diagnosed by history taking and physical examination of the patient by a physical therapist.
Sciatica sign and symptoms:
– Moderate to severe pain in the lower back, buttock, and down their leg.
– Numbness or weakness in their lower back, buttock, leg, or feet.
– Pain that worsens with movement; and may cause loss of movement control.
– Pins and needles” feeling in their legs, toes, or feet.
Exercises for sciatica pain relief and sciatica nerve-tingling sensation:
1- Sciatica nerve glide: This exercise can help you with the sciatica pain and nerve-tingling sensation. We presume you have the pain and tingling in your left leg.

Then you are going to extend the knee and bring your toe to dorsiflexion. Try to extend the knee to the point that feels comfortable and you start to feel the stretch. You may try this movement for 3 sets of 10 to 12 repetitions. This exercise will help you to reduced sciatica pain and nerve-tingling sensation.

If you suffering from sciatica, figure 4 stretch can help you to relieve pain from your buttock and improve your hip mobility.
3- L 4 L5 / L5 S1 Decompression exercise
If you suffering from Sciatica pain, The decompression exercise is a passive stretch that can give you immediate sciatica pain relief. With the help of gravity, this exercise help to reduced the pressure between your spinal discs in your lower back.

And make sure to relax your arms and your feet, and find a comfortable position. Stay In this position for 45sec for 3 to 4 repetitions, and make sure to stay relax and focus on your breathing. The goal of this stretch is to let gravity creates a decompression between your spinal discs and improve your sciatica pain and discomfort.
