Best Treatment for Sciatica Pain

By Morgan Sutherland

Best Treatment for Sciatica Pain

Have you ever suffered from the misery of sciatica or sacroiliac joint pain? If so, you know how debilitating you feel, and you'd love to know a way that you can relieve the hurt.

 

Sciatica is more than just a simple pain in the butt. When it strikes, it causes misery and debilitating pain that instantly downgrades your life. The sciatic nerve runs right through this tiny, powerful muscle in your buttocks called the piriformis, a pear-shaped muscle deep in the glutes that helps laterally rotate the hip.

If it gets too tight, it can impinge the sciatic nerve, causing tremendous pain, tingling, and numbness through the glutes and into the lower leg.

 

Sacroiliac (SI) joint pain refers to pain in the sacroiliac joint region caused by abnormal motion in the sacroiliac joint, either too much motion or too little motion. People with SI joint pain often have trouble standing from a sitting position, transitioning from lying down to getting up, and frequently change positions to feel comfortable.

 

This book will give you easy-to-understand and follow sciatica exercises to give you pain relief. You'll learn the following exercises and techniques, accompanied by clear illustrations that demonstrate the proper body positions.

• Eleven effective exercises to reverse sciatica symptoms in 20 minutes or less per day.
• Six resistance band strengthening exercises for sciatica relief.
• How to foam roll your sciatic pain away.
• Do-it-yourself techniques for SI joint pain relief.
• Eleven exercises for instant SI joint pain relief.

Performing these dynamic exercises in Best Treatment for Sciatica Pain really can work wonders for stubborn sciatica and SI joint pain. And all it takes is just 15 to 20 minutes per day.

 

If you have low back pain and sciatica, help is on the way to a more vibrant and engaging quality of life. Find relief from sciatica pain and SI joint pain with these 29 proven exercises from an orthopedic massage therapist, who specializes in treating chronic pain. You'll be glad you did!
