I went through a long period of back pain and sciatica pain and tried everything like chiropractors, orthopedics, pain killers, muscle relaxants and many traditional therapies. Even chiropractors didn't know this stretching exercise that I needed for my pain.

If you have Back Pain, Sciatica and other related problems and you have tried everything else like chiropractors, pain killers, muscle relaxants and have gone through surgery or have been advised spinal surgery, try these stretching exercises which work on the primary causes and not the secondary or illusory ones.

What this sciatic nerve pain relief involves is standing without wavering while placing a leg on something steady like a table. Keeping the toe pulled towards you, while keeping the leg straight bend forward as much as possible. Hold on for some time, until you feel an enormous stretch at the back of the thighs and lower back. Do it again with the other leg, then move on to the next step.

Sit in a relaxed position on a chair and place your legs straight ahead with your heels firmly grounded. Pull your toes towards your body and slowly bend forward. Hold on for some time until again you will feel an enormous stretch at the back of the thighs and lower back.

The purpose of these exercises is to allow those muscles located in the thighs and lower portion of the back to stretch. Stiffness of these muscles is primary reasons for most of the back pain, sciatica and related problems, so these treatments for sciatica will relieve the compression on the lower spine and sciatica nerve. Don't worry if you feel a little extra pain for 4-5 days as our body resists the change and it happens with any new exercises. Do it 2 or 3 times at first and then more when you become more adept at it.
