TIPS FOR SCIATICA RELIEF
There are some tips you can follow to relieve your sciatica pain on your own. These can be done before coming in for treatments, or in tandem with your physiotherapy treatments: • Performing gentle stretching exercises. • Avoiding prolonged sitting. Make sure to get up every 30 minutes and change positions frequently. • Putting a pillow behind your knees when sleeping on your back or between your knees when sleeping on your side. • Using your legs to bend down when picking up objects off the floor, rather than using your back. • Alternating ice and heat on the buttock to reduce inflammation. • Asking your doctor about coming to physiotherapy, or giving us a call. How successful is physiotherapy for back pain? A study found in the medical journal SPINE proves both the physical and monetary benefits to treating back pain and sciatica with physiotherapy. It demonstrates that when doctors refer their patients for physiotherapy treatments early on in the diagnosis, their patients have shown significant improvement and lowered treatment costs. In this study, patients saved an average of $2736.36 for their low back pain treatment simply by being referred to a physiotherapist in the beginning. If you are suffering with back pain or sciatica, consult with your doctor about physiotherapy treatments, or contact our office to learn more about how you could benefit. At Core Solutions Physiotherapy & Wellness, we aim for speedy and effective recoveries at low costs. Don’t live with back pain any longer – stand taller with physiotherapy.
