Sciatica is a major epidemic worldwide. The sciatic nerve is the largest and fattest nerve in the body. This nerve originates from several nerves the comes from the lumbar region. It exits out into the buttocks and down both legs. These medically proven exercises have been used with great success on thousands of patients.
I’ve had meniscus surgery in both knees, and still have severe pain in the left knee. I have a lot of difficulty with the pigeon stretch as well as the figure 4 stretch. Any suggestions for alternative sciatica stretches?
I can do it laying on my back. I just had knee surgery 2 months ago.
cause i have knee pain if i have to bend up and down continually at work
so in addition to having a lateral pelvic tilt which exercises do you recommend
Generally that would be more of the disk as compared to piriformis.
i noticed after doing the mckenzie stretch cobra pushup the pain in my right leg reduced dramatically, is that herniated disc or piriformis syndrome
i don’t know why i can’t find any exercise that help me
i made the first exercise in the video and it made me worse 🙁
Thanks
Excellent explanation of a key point in dealing with this. I just had to have epidurals to get the pain from herniated disc under control, and am embarking on learning the right exercises to deal with this herniated disc. Thanks.
Doctor can you share me your Email Address , i already had a surgery for this , my actual problem was Severe Neurogenic Claudication Secondary to Lumbar Canal Stenosis at L3-4 and L4-5 levels , i was suffering lower back pain radiating to both legs for 9 years , after my surgery i was okay just but , now a days i am retaining the same issue that i had before , besides i am a heavy person with over tummy , weighing around 140 kgs , height 188cms , is these exercises helpful to me to recover what i am suffering right now ?
Great exercises. My concern is just when I can get back to playing tennis and golf! I’ve never been out of action for more than a week and after my Gym injury I’d been without these sporting activities for nearly 16 weeks! It’s been very difficult for me. The Dr wanted to operate on my back, but many people advised my otherwise. My MRI-scan looks good with good spacing between the vertebrae – just a small narrowing between Lumber 3 and L 4. I started these rehabilitating exercises this week so would it be ok to play golf this coming Saturday (4 days away)?
how much time is required to recover from
disc bulge??
If your sciatica come from a piriformis syndrom, yes it will help you, if it comes only from a herniated disc which is irritating the L5 and/or S1 nerves, I really don’t see how it could improve your condition!?
It even could make your pain worse during the exercise because of the flexion of the spine you have to do in many of them…
I really would like to know from where come the the “medically proven”…….
Very nice stretches sir….God bless you!
Thank you doctor , very good demonstration

i think you just fixed me man.one side of the nerve actually popped and it just releived so so so so much pressure
I just had my baby and got an epidural and blood patch and i recently went to the ER for pain and they told me i got siatica. will these stretches help me?
Yes it can
is this to avoid surgery or temperary relief
