Sciatic Treatment: Back Pain Relief
Sciatic back pain occurs when the group of nerves in the lower back that make up the sciatic nerve are compressed or otherwise irritated. As a result, patients can experience serious pain in the lower back or numbness and tingling in the legs. For some people, without sciatic treatment, the pain can become completely debilitating. Here are three golden rules for sciatic treatment:
- In 90 percent of cases, sciatic treatment is non-surgical. If a physician tells you that you definitely need surgery for your sciatic pain, make sure to get a second opinion prior to making such a decision. Make sure you exhaust any and all other treatment options before you undergo a costly and potentially dangerous procedure that entails operating in a such a sensitive area. Every surgery that involves the nerves of the spine has the potential to do serious permanent harm and is often very risky.
- Make sure without causing more harm than good, you exercise on a regular basis. While it may seem counter intuitive, the best sciatic treatment is not bed rest, but exercise. Over time, inactivity only makes the pain worse and does nothing to strengthen the muscles that help with the elimination of sciatic pain. Inactivity leads to weakened muscles and increase the likelihood of further injury. A variety of exercises exist for sciatic treatment, differing depending upon how the injury occurred. Over the long term, exercise is one of the best ways to heal the back. To find the best exercises for your situation, check with your doctor, chiropractor, or physical therapist.
- Sciatic pain can often be alleviated utilizing heat and/ or ice. This is a very inexpensive and non-pharmaceutical traditional method for treating sciatic back pain. At the beginning of severe sciatic pain, utilize ice. After a few days when the inflammation has subsided, switch from ice to heat. A simple heating pad, hot bath, or a warm gel pack can help to loosen tight muscles around the back. Heat can be applied for 15 to 20 minutes for minor back tension, or as long as two hours at a time for serious sciatica back pain issues.
