Top 13 Treatments That Make Sciatica Pain Worse

Thanl you very much Dr. David i tried a chiropractor, a physio therapist and the sciatica was getting worst. Now i know the exercises were not a plus for me. I am just doing the 5 stretches you gave and is feeling a lot better. Less pain in the night and getting out of bed. You are a blessing to me. God bless you as you strive to help others.

Absolutely everything you are saying is so true. I have tried all these bad exercises and found out the hard way.

Thank you so much for your great sciatica videos. I think you are the only one i have heard talking about the sciatic notch and the si getting locked up. I have MS and bad muscle imbalances as a result. I have had 2 chiropractors tell me that the right side (painful side) of my Si joint is locked up and because of my ms my left side is very weak. To complicate things more my MS cause spasm on my left side that pull on my pelvis and cause extreme pain! I am currently on narcotics and trying to transition to gabapentin for pain, i am on baclofen to try and manage my spasm but that drug causes weakness and unfortunately most movements cause my spasms to flare up. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have been struggling with this worsening over the last 2 years and it is now at an extreme level. Thank you again for such great content. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you Dr for all your in depth clarification on wrong exercises

Thank you your advice is working for me Scott uk

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you a million times over.

That s a vry good ways excercises thanks,God blss,gd luck

Thanks for your last point. There are still to many operations done on that, instead to concentrate first on the hip, pelvis and don’t forget the thoracic spine.

Absolutely fantastic video. Can't thank you enough 😊

I was told to do all these and still have bad pain,so will not do them anymore,thank you for letting us know,

Thank U so much for the info!!

Thanka🥰

I love your channel and I'm a subscriber. I do Feldenkrais and your channel. I did not know why people who recovered from sciatica were putting out videos saying these very exercises like figure 4 and pigeon pose helped them get better. Maybe their problem was about muscles and not nerve. Feldenkrais has been helpful to be aware of habitual patterns of movement. But I love Dr David's very thorough and knowledgeable videos.

Can you suggest the proper exercise for sciatica pain and proper proper posture for the same problem please.

The pain is intense it comes and goes. When I did one of your recomended exercises I felt a warm sensation going down my leg and relief. Its that ok
