These nerves run through the spine and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/leg-stretches\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">down each leg<\/a> supplying signals to our thighs, lower legs, and feet. The roots of these nerves lay within the lower, lumbar region of the back and due to pinching of these roots, the nerve may become inflamed causing <strong><em>sciatica<\/em><\/strong> or <strong><em>sciatic nerve pain<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The main cause of sciatica is thought to be long term <em>sitting or laying on the buttocks<\/em> due to prolonged pressure. It is thought to effect from 1 to 10% of the population and doesn\u2019t tend to be a result of a specific injury or incident.<\/p>\n<h2>Treatment of Sciatic Nerve Pain<\/h2>\n<p>While some cases may require surgery, over 50% of people will heal on their own within six weeks. Within the first few days, icing is recommended and trying to stay as active as possible will optimize recovery time.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tennis balls<\/em> can produce therapeutic benefits by relieving muscle aching and improve circulation. This treatment is conducted by placing one or more tennis balls directly under tense or aching muscles.<\/p>\n<p>Move your body over the tennis balls in order to find tender areas known as \u201ctrigger points\u201d before applying more pressure to these areas for up to 20 seconds. While this can be effective, it may cause intense pain and it is important not to worsen the injury <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/0-18298\/4-exercises-for-sciatica-pain-relief.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">[1]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Watch the video below to learn how to do it<\/em>:<\/p>\n<p class=\"responsive-video-wrap clr\"><div class=\"cwvpsb_iframe\"><div class=\"iframe_wrap\"><div class=\"iframe_player\" data-embed=\"YE1JJupJYy0\" id=\"player_YE1JJupJYy0\"><div class=\"play-button\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p>While physical therapy may be beneficial, studies show that this method is not the most effective one.
