Prescribed exercise has proven to be much more effective at relieving sciatica pain than bed rest or even trying to resume daily activities. This may seem strange, but the structured, repetitive, and progressive process of the exercises is what makes them so effective. When sciatica flares up, if it doesn’t cause a sufferer to dig a hole that they can be buried in, it’s common to ice the area and limit activity. Unfortunately, inactivity usually leads to an increase in pain. At Kalani Total Health Center, we create a custom exercise program that helps to:
Increase muscle strength
Improve bone health
Enhance blood flow
Nourish spinal discs
Reduce stiffness of the sciatic nerve
Without exercise, our back muscles and spinal structures become weak which leads to further trauma. We create a routine that is tailored to the specific underlying cause of each patient’s sciatica whether that be a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, or spondylolisthesis.
