Control Sciatic Back and Hip Pain With These 6 Simple Stretches (Videos)

-
Stretching is an important part of exercising and if done regularly it can prevent and relieve discomfort, injuries, and sciatica. What sciatica is? Sciatica can be extremely uncomfortable, and some sufferers are unable to move due to the pain. It’s a rather serious condition that requires medical attention and immediate care.
This type of excruciating pain will not go away on its own, and attempting to treat it with painkillers won’t treat your problem, it will only mask the symptoms. Painkillers provide short-term improvement, but the true issue is still here. 

Sciatic nerve pain may be caused by the following triggers:

1. Lumbar herniated disc
2. Degenerative disc disease
3. Isthmic spondylolisthesis
4. Lumbar spinal stenosis
5. Piriformis syndrome
6. Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
6. Sacroiliac joint dysfunction

Other causes of sciatica and sciatica-type symptoms:

  • Pregnancy
  • Scar tissue
  • Muscle strain
  • Spinal tumor
  • Infection
  • Fracture


Common sciatica symptoms

The pain usually affects one side of your lower body and goes from the lower back and down the leg.
  • Constant pain in one side of the hip/leg
  • Pain that affects the lower back and buttock
  • Pain that goes away when you lie on the bed or walk
  • Sharp/searing pain
  • A pins-and-needles sensation, numbness, weakness in legs
  • Weakness or numbness during motion (leg/foot)
  • Severe pain in one leg
  • Lower back pain (less severe)
  • Pain and other issues in toes

 

Try the following stretches to improve your condition:

1. Camel Pose

To do it, you need to kneel and keep your knees apart and your palms forward. Bring your hips up and forward, and bend your upper body like a camel. Place your hands to the heels one by one.

2. Wide Forward Fold

You can do this either standing or sitting. If you sit, keep your feet apart and straighten your knees. Reach forward with your arms, and relax the neck area. If you stand, keep your feet apart, and lean forward to touch the floor.

3. Frog Pose

Bring your body on all fours, and spread your knees. Bring your hips forward, and bring your chest and head to the floor.

4. Wide side lunge

Stand with your toes forward, and bend to touch the floor with your fingers. Bring your hands to one foot and bend the knee of the opposite leg. Rotate the other foot, and make sure your toes face the ceiling.

5. Butterfly Stretch

Sit on the floor, open your knees, bring your feet together. Straighten your back and press your knees down. Can you feel the stretch?

6. Forearm Extensor Stretch

Roll your shoulders back, and extend one arm to the front. Flex your hand down and cup it with your other hand. Bring it towards your body. You should feel the stretch at this point.

by  N.Morgan For decades the public was told that Q-tips are beneficial to our ears. Medical Q-tips remove excess wax from the ear, causing a sweet tingling sensation. However, although seemingly innocent, cotton Q-tips can be a great threat to your ears. Cotton buds are first of all, used improperly. There is no clear instruction on how to use a Q-tip rightfully, which ultimately leads to many people experiencing ear damage. Oftentimes serious, Q-tips are known to cause infections in the ear, aggravating the situation even further.

The Case that Changed the Idea of Q-tips A story on ear infections has really exposed the dangers of using Q-tips. Namely, a man went to the emergency room, following a bad seizure. The man explained how he experienced pain lasting for a couple of hours, followed by a discharge from his ear. At one point the man also lost some of...
