How can I treat my sciatica pain with physical therapy?
Hello, A physical therapist can help with exercise prescription i order to determine if the origin of sciatica is caused from the spine such as arthritis, stenosis, etc or if it’s from mechanics or tight muscles. Depending on how for the feel the pain down the leg you can start with calf stretches, hamstring stretches, and lying on your back holding the back of you thigh so your leg is at about 90 degrees (as if sitting in chair) slowly straighten your knee until you feel a stretch- no pain and then pump your ankle as if you are using a gas pedal about 3sets of 20. These are some easy things to do at home. I would recommend an appointment with a therapist if these simple exercises don’t alleviate the pain. READ MORE
