What causes sciatica pain, and how can it be managed naturally? - #14752
I’ve been dealing with sciatica pain for a while now, and it’s been affecting my ability to move and sleep comfortably. I don’t fully understand what causes it or how to relieve it effectively. What exactly causes sciatica pain, and why does it usually affect the lower back and legs? I read that it happens when the sciatic nerve is compressed—does that mean herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or poor posture can lead to sciatica? How do these factors contribute to nerve irritation, and what are the main symptoms of sciatica pain? I also want to know about natural ways to manage sciatica pain. Do exercises, stretches, or yoga help alleviate symptoms, and are there any Ayurvedic treatments or herbs that support nerve health and reduce inflammation? Can hot or cold compresses provide relief for sciatica pain? If anyone has had sciatica pain, what was the underlying cause, and how did you manage it? Did physical therapy, lifestyle changes, or medication provide relief, or did you need more advanced treatments?
