Sciatica Treatment

Although sciatica can be due to a sudden injury, a herniated disc, or arthritis, the most common causes are from improper sitting, lack of exercise, or unbalanced movement. 

In order to prevent sciatica, we must first understand what causes it and then learn habits that will keep it from developing. 

🚶🏽Daily walks 

💪 Having a regular exercise program that focuses on keeping your back and core strong 

🪑 Avoiding prolonged sitting

🧘🏻‍♀️ Maintaining proper posture

🏋️‍♀️When lifting, turning, or bending, use good body mechanics 

⚖️ Losing even a small amount of weight can reduce stress and inflammation on the sciatic nerve

🥗 Eat a well-balanced diet with foods that support muscular health

Every BODY is different, so it may take time to find what makes YOUR sciatica better or worse. If you are having acute sciatica pain now, ACUPUNCTURE is very beneficial in helping to reduce pain levels so that you can get out of pain and begin to work on strengthening the back and core.
