Let's talk about three simple easy steps that you can fix your sciatica.

Sciatica is pain that travels from your lower back down the back part of one leg. 90% of the time it comes

from a disc problem. The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve of the body and you can have pain that

goes right into your bottom of your foot as well. There's a really simple test to determine if you

have it. It's called a straight leg razor where you're laying on your back and you have someone just

raise up one leg at a time and as you raise it up between 30 and 70 degrees you're going to start

filling pain on the affected side. And you really don't need this test because people that have

sciatica are going to feel it on the back of one leg. Now very very important okay before I show

you these three steps I need you to rate the intensity of your pain right now. So just write it

down or put it in the comment section right now. What is your pain right now?

Attending very very severe zero being no pain at all. Write it down because we're going to ask you

after we're done to have you re-rate it. Now what are you going to need in this three step procedure?

Well you're going to need a foam roller but you really don't even need one of those. You can just

roll a small towel up and you're going to need a tennis ball but you really don't even need that

if you get someone else to do this procedure on you. So it's really simple you're going to do three

things. The first thing is we have to reestablish the curve in your lower back. Normally you should have

a curve in your lower back but the problem with sciatica is you lose that curve. So now we have

a lot of compression on the discs and this usually happens from sitting for a long periods of time

an average person sits between 10 and 15 hours a day that's crazy and they usually don't sit

straight right they kind of slush one side. So they're very susceptible to getting sciatica

nerve pain because of that disc. So we want to reestablish the curve of the lower back very simply

you're going to be putting this foam roller or a rolled up towel in the lower part of your back
