Sciatic pain can be debilitating. As a chiropractor in Wauwatosa, I see many patients suffering from this condition. Understanding the signs and the best ways to manage it can significantly improve one’s quality of life.
Signs of Sciatic Pain
- Sharp pain in the lower back
- Pain radiating down one leg
- Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot
- Weakness in the leg or foot
- Difficulty standing up or moving
What Not to Do
Certain activities can make sciatic pain worse. I always advise my patients to avoid:
- Stretching: This can irritate the nerve further.
- Rubbing: This can increase inflammation.
- Heating sore areas: This can worsen the pain.
- Using treadmills or elliptical machines: These can strain the lower back.
Effective Tips for Relief
Instead of the above activities, here are some tips I recommend for managing sciatic pain:
- Massage Gun: Use it on your feet and calf muscles to relieve tension.
- Reverse Hyperextension Exercises: Strengthen your lower back with these specific exercises.
