Sciatica Exercises, The Best Course of Treatment

Ahhhh.....the sound patients make when they are relieved from the grueling pain of Sciatica or Sciatic radiculopathy. 

Sciatica is a set of symptoms, not a diagnosis itself.  It is usually caused by compression or irritation of one or more nerves that stem from the spinal cord in the lower back region.  Sciatica can be caused by a number of different things such as: degenerative discs, L5 nerve root impingement, piriformis syndrome, etc... 

Best course of treatment for sciatica seems to be exercises.

In our office we implement a lot of hands on stretching that patients can do at home while or along with their recommended treatment plans we give them.

Some stretches and exercises really truly help with sciatica like, piriformis syndrome stretch, knee to chest stretching, and even Yoga!  

Hope that helps,

DR
