The
longest nerve in the human body is the sciatic nerve, yet most people have
never heard of it. It starts in the lower back, runs through the buttocks, goes
down the back of the legs, and ends in the feet.
When
a person’s sciatic nerve is irritated or inflamed, he or she experiences pain,
numbness, and tingling that extends from the back down through the legs.
Doctors
often prescribe medicine to relieve sciatic pain, and it usually help — but it
doesn’t work for everyone.
If
you’re experiencing acute pain, you should of course consult a doctor. But if
your pain is more tolerable, there are a bunch of alternative methods you might
want to try — including the one below.
Sciatic
pain varies in intensity, but for many people, it’s unbearable and it creates
big problems in their lives.
Something
as easy as walking or sitting becomes almost impossible, preventing a person
suffering from sciatica from living a normal life.
And
while medicine can help, natural remedies and exercise address the root
problem, writes Secretly Healthy.
