Yoga for Sciatica Pain !

The sciatic nerves are the longest in the body and are as thick as your little finger. They extend from the lower lumbar spine, passing your buttocks, down the back of your legs, and extending to the soles of your feet. Pain may originate in any of these parts – lower back, buttocks, calf, legs, or foot. -Yoga poses can help align, straighten, and strengthen the lower back, the source of the sciatic nerve. -Some spinal twists can also help relieve pain caused due to compression of the sciatic nerve. - Yoga asanas help lengthen the spine; this will relieve pain caused due to the pressing of the spinal cord on the sciatic nerve. -Time and activity could have made the hip muscles tight, applying pressure on the sciatic nerve. Yoga asanas help lengthen and loosen these muscles. -Simple stretches also greatly ease the pain along the entire sciatic nerve. @Sai ( Sai Sudha ) hope this helps you ! Try practicing these postures and post it on the communities.
