Highly Effective Treatments for Sciatic Nerve Pain

Physical Therapy

Sciatic nerve pain, as mentioned tends to flare up when an individual's movement is limited. Physical therapy increases blood flow to the muscles and helps flush out inflammatory proteins that have accumulated in the area. A physical therapist will diagnose problem areas that can be improved with stretching and light exercise. They may prescribe specific stretches and exercises to help loosen tight muscles and improve flexibility. A light strengthening routine may also be included to help build the muscles surrounding the spine, thereby increasing stabilization. This will reduce an individual's chances of further injury that could exacerbate their condition.
