THE POWER OF A STRONG CORE IN ALLEVIATING SCIATICA
If you’ve ever felt shooting pain from your lower back down to your leg, you’re familiar with the discomfort of sciatica. It’s more than just a pain; it can disrupt your entire life. One effec- tive but often overlooked approach to manage and potentially reduce this nagging issue is strengthening your core muscles. At FYZICAL, we’re experts in guiding you through core-fo- cused exercises to find much-needed relief. Why a Strong Core Matters A strong core is not just about having “abs”; it includes mus- cles in your back, pelvis, hips, and even your buttocks. When these muscles are in tip-top shape, they help keep everything in the proper position and working correctly, minimizing the stress on the sciatic nerve and helping you feel less pain and more comfort. Three Common Core Exercises 1. Planks: This is a fundamental core exercise that works your abdomen and the muscles in your back and shoulders. Hold- ing a plank position for several seconds engages multiple muscle groups, enhancing spinal stability. 2.Bridge Exercise: Ideal for working your glutes, lower back, and hamstrings. By lying on your back with your feet flat on the floor and lifting your hips towards the ceiling, you strengthen the muscles that support your back. 3.Dead Bug Exercise: This low-impact exercise engages the core without straining the lower back. Perform by lying on your back with arms extended upwards and knees bent above hips. Lower your right arm above your head while extending your left leg out, return to the starting position, and repeat. Discover the Path to Relief at FYZICAL With a strong core, you’re not just building muscle; you’re cre- ating a support system for your spine. This can lead to better posture, less pain, and improved quality of life. Schedule your appointment today and take the first step toward a more com- fortable, active life.
