Sciatica pain treatment is easy to perform at home by yourself.

If you have the means to get up, perform some level of low-intensity activity, then it may make more sense to apply the principles of sciatica pain treatment by yourself, using natural, holistic remedies, rather than to spend money on costly medical procedures.

Sciatica pain treatment involves a combination of one or more of the following regimens:

• Trigger point massage – By relieving the tension in the muscles adjacent to the sciatic nerve, it can ease the pain caused by inflammation of the nerve.
• Acupressure – This involves applying pressure at certain trigger points along your body, to relieve the tension in your muscles.
• Low-impact aerobic exercise – The notion that the best way to heal from sciatica is to get bed rest is not entirely true. Keeping your body moving is an important element of sciatica pain treatment.
• Stretching – Stretching relieves tension in the back muscles, easing the pressure off of the sciatic nerve.
• Diet – Believe it or not, certain foods are known to be conducive to healing sciatica. And certain foods are known to aggravate it. Don’t neglect the healthy eating guidelines to help heal an inflamed or irritated sciatic nerve.

I used to suffer from sciatica, but was able to cure it naturally without having to spend any time or money on doctor visits, complex medical procedures, or prescription drugs. All I did was follow the basic techniques of do-it-yourself, homeopathic sciatica pain treatment.

If you had a chance to regain a normal life, being able to take care of your kids, being able to play sports, be able to get up and sit down without feeling that burning sensation in your lower extremities, and do the things that other people take for granted, would you be willing to do whatever it takes?

Although it originates there, it can travel down the longest nerve of the body and can cause discomfort, if not agony, anywhere down the leg all the way to the foot and toes.

The pain can range from a mild numbness to scream generating agony. The piriformis muscle is attached to the lump of bone on the side of the thigh and its job is to rotate the hip joint. This muscle can become irritated by many things. Injury, bad posture or even over use during sports.

The troublesome sciatic nerve is the longest and fattest nerve in the human body and runs all the way from the foot, up the leg and into the spinal column at the lower back. Usually the nerve passes under the piriformis muscle but in some cases, it actually goes through the muscle and this can cause problems.

The sciatic nerve can become inflamed and painful it the muscle compresses it causing sciatica. The piriformis muscle squeezing the nerve is not the only cause of sciatica.

Other factors such as disc herniation can trigger the problem but when the muscle is the cause the condition is known as piriformis sciatica or piriformis syndrome.

Whatever the cause, the symptoms can be similar. Shooting pains down the leg, numbness in the toes and foot or general pain in various parts of the leg where the nerve passes.

Often some gentle stretching exercises can help with the sciatica but very often people forget to do the exercises once the pain goes, only remembering them once they have another bout of discomfort. Other forms of treatment like hot and cold compresses and massage can certainly help.

Anti inflammatory drugs can relieve the pain but of course do nothing to address the cause of the problem. As a final resort, surgery can sometimes be successful but it is best to explore less drastic solutions that may help with the problem first.
