Is sciatica driving you crazy, are you tired of waking up in pain and not being able to do want you want to do? Does your sciatica cause so much pain that life is just not enjoyable anymore?nnDon’t worry… It may feel like your life is getting worse, but in reality your sciatica is curable. Sciatica is commonly thought to be due to disc problems – you have a disc that bulges, that puts pressure on the nerve which then radiates down your leg… sciatica. And the cure… medication and surgery are your likely options.nnIn fact – research now shows that the majority of sciatica cases are not caused by disc injuries. The majority are a result of spinal misalignment, muscle tension and inflammation of the sciatic nerve. Your sciatic nerve pain that you thought you were doomed to have forever, or at least need surgery for. Is able to be treated and treated successfully.nnSo what should you do? Your sciatica needs a collective approach. This means you need to eliminate all the causes of your sciatica, no matter how minor they may be. If you don’t … your sciatica will return. Research has also shown that when it returns – it comes back worse the second time around. So eliminate properly the first time and save your self a lot of pain and money. Your attack needs to address the three main factors. If you target these then your sciatic nerve will heal. But as the saying goes… if pain persists see your doctor. Although the majority of sciatica cases are not serious, if pain persists it pays to seek help. One to rule out the serious causes and secondly if it fails to heal quickly, professional help will speed your recovery. But back to the three pronged attack… Firstly you need to reduce tension in the Piriformis muscle. The Piriformis is the muscle that causes most cases of sciatica. The sciatic nerve either runs through this muscle or close to it. When the muscle tightens, the sciatic nerve is irritated – you now have sciatica. Stretching is the ideal way to reduce muscle tension. However, the most important ingredients are not what to stretch, but when and how to stretch. There are some simple and highly effective stretches that will reduce muscle tension in days. The second area to attack is inflammation. Sure this can be accomplished by medication, but medication can have side-effects. So use natural products such as Homeopathics, herbs etc first. If they fail to remove the inflammation, then use medication. Inflammation is not a major cause of sciatica though, but should still be addressed. The final area to correct is the spinal and pelvic misalignment. When the spine and pelvis tighten the muscles in the area tighten, which then leads to your sciatica. To balance the pelvis and lower spine, you need to use techniques that re-align the spine and pelvis and maintain it. Simple ways to keep the spine moving freely and easily. If you have your joints moving correctly, muscle low in tension and inflammation gone … sciatica will disappear almost ove ight. All these are achievable by you using techniques you can use at home. Sciatica does not need to be a pain in the butt. It can disappear simply and easily. nn
