What should I do if I have sciatica?

I believe that most of my friends are not so unfamiliar with the disease of sciatica, and are very familiar with this disease. This type of disease is a relatively common neurological disease. Its main cause is long-term sitting or muscle pulling, which seriously affects the patient's daily life. So, what should you do about sciatica?

1. Hanging bar: Find a horizontal bar and let your body hang freely. This stretches the spine, helps relieve pain in the waist and legs, and has a certain effect in correcting posture.

2. Stand on books with your toes: Put a pile of books on the floor, then stand on the books with your toes, with your heels hanging in the air. Do this exercise until you can't hold on any longer (you can shorten the exercise time when you try it for the first time, and do it step by step). 3. Raise your legs: Straighten your legs, lie on your back on the bed, and slowly lift your legs upwards (keep your legs straight). When you feel pain in your waist and legs, continue for a while and then rest.

4. Leg stretching: This does not mean that you have to stretch your legs like martial artists. To keep it simple, just sit on the bed, lean your back against the wall, stretch your legs straight, and then reach your heels with your hands.

In daily life, we should also pay attention to keeping our waist warm. There are many waist protectors on the market now, some of which are specially designed for sciatica patients. The waist must not be exposed to cold, otherwise it will cause lumbar neuritis and aggravate the pain in the waist and legs. And pay attention to eating a balanced diet to help alleviate the symptoms. We must get rid of those bad habits in our life. If you suffer from sciatica, you must never sleep on a soft bed. Sleeping on a hard bed can help the spine return to the correct posture. Avoiding high heels when going out can also help correct the spine.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a detailed understanding of the treatment measures for sciatica. Generally, hanging on outdoor poles or stepping on books on tiptoe indoors can effectively improve this disease and gradually reduce the patient's pain. For severe patients, it is better to go to the hospital for treatment.
