Keep Your Sciatic Back And Hip Pain Under Control With 6 Stretches
Stretching improves your flexibility and strengthens muscles. Do it regularly to prevent and fix discomfort, injuries and sciatica. Do you know what sciatica is?
Sciatic nerve pain may be caused by the following triggers:
1. Lumbar herniated disc
2. Degenerative disc disease
3. Isthmic spondylolisthesis
4. Lumbar spinal stenosis
5. Piriformis syndrome
6. Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
Other causes of sciatica and sciatica-type symptoms:
- Pregnancy
- Scar tissue
- Muscle strain
- Spinal tumor
- Infection
- Fracture
Sciatica can be really uncomfortable, and some sufferers are unable to move. It’s a rather serious condition that requires full attention and care. This type of pain won’t go on its own, and stuffing your body with painkillers won’t treat your problem. Painkillers provide short-term improvement, but the problem is still here.
Common sciatica symptoms
The pain usually affects one side of your lower body, and goes from the lower back and down the leg.
- Constant pain in one side of the hip/leg
