Sciatica is a condition where a big nerve in your body, the sciatic nerve, becomes irritated or compressed. This nerve runs from your lower back to your leg and foot. Irritation of this nerve can cause pain, tingling, burning, or muscle weakness. The pain can be mild but also intense, and often gets worse when sitting or bending.
If you suffer from sciatica, it's important to know what you can do yourself to relieve the pain. For example, keep moving, even if it sometimes feels contradictory. Indeed, sitting still for a long time can worsen the symptoms, while light activities such as walking can actually help. Heat or cold can also provide relief; a heat pad relaxes the muscles, while a cold compress can reduce inflammation. In addition, a good posture is essential. Make sure your workspace is ergonomically designed and avoid sitting for long periods of time. If you suffer from persistent or serious complaints, call in a professional. A chiropractor can help you with targeted treatment and tailored advice.
