Sciatica … you know the pain that travels down your leg and stops you enjoying so many activities. The back pain which has suddenly increased so your life is now not so easy. Did you know there are 3 guarantees that go with sciatica?n

If you understand these guarantees then you can be finally free from your sciatica and can enjoy life once again. Now, I know you asking, what are the 3 sciatica guarantees?n

nSciatica Guarantee #1n

The first guarantee is more of a warning. If your pain has referred to your leg, down to your foot and is affecting the strength of your leg… You need help!!n

Sciatica is usually not severe; it is usually caused by minor joint and muscle distortion patterns that are easily fixed. On the rare occasions it is caused by disc problems. These need addressing by trained professionals and you will need treatment or at worse surgery.n

So sciatica guarantee #1 is… if it is severe, affecting your muscle strength, changing your bowel or bladder control seek help immediately. Or I can guarantee your sciatica will get worse and you wish you had sought help.n

nSciatica Guarantee #2n

The second guarantee is also a warning. Unless you address all the factors that create your sciatica… it will return. The problem with mist back pain issues is this.n

If it repeats it usually comes back worse. So it is best to fix it properly the first time to save your self time, money and pain.n

The second guarantee is simple… fix the entire problem first time. So what do you need to fix?n

Sciatica is caused by pelvic distortion, lower back joint mobility, muscle tension and muscle weakness in the area. Sounds complex but in reality it isn’t. Getting your joints in balance and moving freely is not just in the domain if seeing a professional. You can actually do this your self.n

Releasing muscle tension is simple enough if you know how to stretch, what to stretch and when to stretch… the 3 essential ingredients for any stretching routine. Building muscle strength also is simple. You don’t need to spend hours in a gym, all you need to know is how to stimulate the nerve and blood supply to your muscles which gives them the strength they need to support your joints. Exercise just means you can lift more heavy objects.n

Target these three areas and your sciatica will disappear. Best of all it won’t return in the future. Fail to target all of these areas and you are doomed to have ongoing sciatica. Whether it stays with you at a low level, or disappears and then returns again at some later date. Either way, unless you remove the 3 main causes of sciatica, it will return. n

And the final guarantee…n

nSciatica Guarantee #3n

The best help is self help! What does this mean?n

As statistics show, the majority of cases (in fact over 96%) sciatica is a minor structural issue. The trauma that starts your back pain is not severe enough to create it. Your sciatica and back pain is due to a build of tension over weeks, months or years.n

It is just one day you extend your self too far and then your sciatica pain arrives. The pain is due to the combination of muscle tension, muscle weakness and joint disruption. The cure is simple…n

You need to learn ways you can ease the muscle tension, strengthen the weakened muscles and restore balance to your joints. The best news of all is that this can be achieved b using techniques your self, at home. This saves you seeing a practitioner, which also saves you time, money and pain. As you can treat your self as often as you wish at home. You are not limited by clinic hours, consultation charges or transport issues.n
