Sciatica Cures… which work

Sciatica pain is that horrible pain that so many suffer from. It affects your enjoyment of life as you get that gnawing pain down your leg. You find even the simplest task hard as you can not relax without the fear of your sciatica kicking in.

You may have spent years searching for a cure, and still remain with sciatic pain. You may have even felt like giving up and having that surgery, in the hope that something will at least ease your sciatica pain.

So what sciatica cures work and which ones don’t?

Now this is not going to be a witch hunt on all the products available. What this article will do is give you a set of guidelines to follow to see if the so called sciatica cure will ease your pain and most of all stop it returning. There are too many products to list, so you need to know which ones to look out for… the ones that are the miracle sciatica cure.

The essential ingredients are:

Techniques to Release Muscle tension – the Piriformis muscle is the most common cause of sciatica pain. The sciatic nerve runs through the muscle and if tight it will irritate the sciatic nerve causing your sciatica. So the first essential ingredient is a technique or two to release muscle tension.

Techniques to Strengthen Muscles – just like a see-saw, if one muscle is too tight there will be others that are too weak. You need exercises (not necessarily gym exercises or lifting weights) to improve the strength of muscles. Ideally ways to improve the nerve and blood supply as this is the prime reason they weaken in the first place.

Methods to Re-Align the Pelvis – the pelvic bones can distort. When they do this the muscles in the buttock (the Piriformis) will tighten, leading to sciatica. Pelvic distortion is also the biggest cause of lower back pain. If you fail to re-align the pelvis, long term sciatic relief will not happen.

Ways to Improve Lower Back Strength – there is no point just targeting the sciatic nerve unless you remove all lower back pain and the distortions there. Sciatica is caused by many factors. The lower spine and spine in general can help to cause sciatica. So you need ways to assess your spine for distortion patterns, to see if there are other factors causing your sciatica.

Techniques to Assess your Spine – if you can’t see where the problem is coming from, you will not know how to eliminate it permanently. All so called sciatica cures need to teach you ways to assess your spine and see where problems occur.

And that is it in a nut shell. If you can find a product that covers all these areas, then you have found a product that will not only eliminate your sciatica, it will also stop it returning.

Sciatica pain is dreadful, it drags you down, you feel frustrated from all the things you can’t do. You want relief; you want to be able to move around without the fear of pain suddenly running down your leg. Sciatica is common and debilitating and it can be easily removed if the product you seek has all the right ingredients – assess, stretch, strengthen, re-align and re-balance.
