The sciatic nerve is the longest and widest solitary nerve in the body, running from the lower back to the foot. When it is irritated or pinched, inflammation ( sciatica ) occurs: the person begins to experience severe pain, usually in the leg. Other symptoms may include weakness, numbness, a burning sensation, or tingling in the affected leg. If left untreated, the condition can seriously affect a person's quality of life and lead to impaired coordination of movement.
The natural treatment to cure sciatica neuralgia developed by our Experts is a complex of plants whose intrinsic properties have been shown to be analgesic, anti-inflammatory and relaxing. Since pain is the hallmark of sciatica, the primary goal of our treatment is to quickly relieve the painful sensation caused by inflammation of your sciatic nerve. The length of our treatment will largely depend on the symptoms you have.

Bright Side has compiled a list of the most effective ways to treat sciatic nerve pain, which will help relieve the condition without taking medication.
11. "Cat" Pose
Starting Position: Get on all fours with palms straight below shoulders and knees below hips.
How to do :
-
As you inhale, lift your head and gaze at the ceiling, while lowering your stomach to the floor.
-
As you exhale, lower your head and look at your hips, arching your back towards the ceiling.
Repeat: 15-20 times.
This exercise will help improve the flexibility of the spine and straighten the hips by strengthening the core muscles.
10. Back thigh stretch
Starting Position: Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you. Bend your left knee, placing your foot on the inside of your right thigh.
How to do :
-
Without bending your right knee, reach out towards your right foot, leaning as low as possible.
-
Hold the position for 15 to 30 seconds and return to the starting position.
Repeat: 3 times for each leg.
This stretch directly engages the hamstrings and helps relieve pain and tension caused by sciatica.
9. "Tiger" pose
Starting Position: Get on all fours with palms straight below shoulders and knees below hips.
How to do :
-
Without moving your back and pelvis, extend your right arm forward and your left leg back.
-
Hold the position for a second and return to the starting position.
-
Repeat on the other side.
Repeat: 10 to 15 times.
This exercise improves posture, relieves pressure on the lower back, and strengthens the buttocks.
8. "Butterfly" Stretching
Starting position: Sit up straight with your knees bent so that your feet are touching.
How to do :
-
Place your hands on your bent knees and gently press down on the floor.
-
At the same time, lean forward, trying to touch your legs with your chest.
-
Hold the position for 10 to 20 seconds.
This pose will help you slowly open your hips and stretch your gluteal and piriformis muscles.
7. Vinegar foot baths
About an hour before bedtime, pour lukewarm water into a bowl, add 500 ml of apple cider vinegar and a glass of salt, and stir well. Soak your feet in this bath for 10 to 15 minutes, pat dry with a towel and keep warm overnight. In the morning, do not get out of bed barefoot and do not walk barefoot.
By repeating the process 3-4 times per week, you will notice a significant reduction in pain due to the anti-inflammatory properties of apple cider vinegar.
6. Acupuncture
According to research, unlike many anti-inflammatory drugs, acupuncture has been shown to be an effective way to relieve low back pain and treat sciatica. This ancient Chinese practice is relatively safe and rarely causes side effects, so it's safe to turn to it.
5. Ice packs or heating pads
In general, ice packs are used to reduce inflammation caused by a pinched nerve, as well as to relieve pain. At the same time, heating helps relax the muscles around the diseased nerve and relieve the pressure on it. Exposure to hot and cold is usually carried out for 15-20 minutes and, if necessary, repeated every 2 hours.
Here are some tips for using hot and cold compresses:
-
Ice packs are applied in the first 2-3 days immediately after the onset of acute symptoms. After that, it is better to use heating pads.
-
Apply warm compresses before any physical activity to warm up the muscles and improve blood circulation to the area.
-
Apply ice and cold compresses after physical activity to soothe the area of inflammation.
-
Use heating pads while you are seated, until it is time to get up, to prepare your muscles for the movement.
-
Take a hot bath: this procedure will release muscle tension.
4. Massage the painful area
The sciatic nerve is located under the piriformis muscle, located under the gluteal muscles. When the piriformis muscles contract, they pinch the sciatic nerve and cause tingling and numbness in the leg. To get rid of these sensations, massage the painful areas or points of the piriformis muscles, as well as the muscles of the lower back.
3. Physical activity
The rule of thumb for those looking to avoid sciatica is not to sit for hours. Watching TV or sitting at a desk can only make the situation worse and increase the pain. So even if you are not a sports fan, try to alternate periods of rest with walking or lying down. Taking short daily walks can promote blood flow to the nerve and reduce inflammation.
2. Good posture
While seated, always support your back and place your feet flat on the floor. For this, it is best to choose a chair or chair with good lumbar support, armrests and a base. You can also elevate your legs slightly by placing them on a book or small box to relieve the pressure on your spine after a long session.
If you are standing for a long time, place one foot on a stool or other support every now and then. This will allow the leg to rest and prevent the pain from getting worse.
1. Good posture while sleeping
If you have sciatic nerve pain, the best sleeping position is on your back. To relieve pressure on the nerve, lift your knees with a pillow or rolled up towel. This position will tilt your pelvis and sleep will be more comfortable.
Those who like to sleep on their sides can also use a pillow: simply bend the top of the knee, pull it up, and place a pillow underneath to align your hips and prevent pain.
