A Sciatica Relief Stretch You Can Do at Home
Tight hip muscles can press on the sciatic nerve. This simple stretch opens them up and gives your lower back more room to move.
Get emergency care right away if leg pain comes with loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness in the groin area, or sudden severe weakness in your legs.
Why This Stretch Helps
When your hip muscles are tight, they can press on the sciatic nerve. This stretch opens up those muscles and gives your lower back more room to move.
Over time, it can help reduce the pain, numbness and tingling that come with sciatica. It is a small move, but it can make a big difference when done daily.
