Sciatica
Sciatica is pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down both legs. In most cases, sciatica only affects one side of your body.
Sciatic pain is often caused by a herniated disk, bone spur on the spine or when narrowing of the spine compresses the nerve. As a result, individuals experience pain and often numbness in one or both legs.
Sciatic Nerve Pain Treatment
Acousana therapy is a highly effective, non-invasive sciatic nerve treatment. This approach to treating mild to severe sciatica has success rates over 86%.
Acousana utilizes patented SoftWave® technology to stimulate your body’s natural healing response by increasing blood flow by up to 300%, quickly reducing inflammation and therefore, offering sciatica pain relief.
Acousana therapy is a sciatica pain treatment that uses patented electrohydraulic SoftWaves® that are delivered through the skin using ultrasound gel. The SoftWaves trigger a natural biological response which initiates a healing process by increasing blood flow and improving circulation.
The SoftWaves “fool” the body into thinking that “damage” has occurred, when in reality, no damage has taken place. This response initiates your body’s natural self-repair process by reducing inflammation and thereby providing sciatica relief.
The pigeon pose is a common yoga pose. It helps to open the hips. The stretch can be done more than one way. Initially, the reclining pigeon pose will be used as a starting position.
- As you lie on your back, bring your right leg into a right angle. Put your hands behind your thigh and lock your fingers.
- Raise your left leg and place your right ankle over your left knee.
- Hold the position. A stretch like this helps loosen the tiny piriformis muscle, which can be inflamed and press against the sciatic nerve, causing pain.
- Repeat with the other leg.
Knee To Opposite Shoulder
Simple stretches like this decrease sciatica pain by loosening inflamed muscles that press against your sciatic nerve.
- You should lie on your back with your legs extended and your feet flexed upward.
- Wrap your hands around your right knee and bend your right leg.
- Pull your right leg towards your left shoulder. Continue holding it there for 30 seconds. Remember not to pull your knees further than is comfortable. You should feel a relief in your muscles, not pain.
- Return your knee to the beginning position.
- Perform three repetitions, then switch legs.
