Sciatica - try this exercise
https://www.physio-soton.co.uk


Sciatica usually settles within 6-8 weeks, but the pain can be excruciating and sometimes patients are not sure how they can help themselves at home. This effective exercise I prescribe to many of my patients who suffer from back pain and sciatica. Hope you find it helpful too.


I specialize in back pain physiotherapy and have been helping patients with this condition in Southampton and the surrounding areas. Back pain can have many, different causes including the intervertebral disc, spinal ligaments, stenosis, nerve entrapment to name a few. In around 80% of back pain cases, it is the intervertebral disc that is causing the pain. Unfortunately, patients often hear the diagnosis of non-specific back pain; many clinicians use this term as it is simply easier this way. It does not require them to look for the exact cause of pain and prescribe universal exercises for patients to do at home.
