Back Pains

I believe that you need a four pronged attack to deal with sciatic pain.

i) Deal with the immediate pain – Pills, analgesics, creams etc.

ii) Reduce inflammation – Sometimes with medication often with topographical applications eg. hot and cold packs

iii) Restore your normal mobility and function – Often through stretches or exercises, but can in extreme cases require surgery

iv) Prevent any re-occurrence or flare up of sciatic pain – by strengthening the muscles in the problem area and making some lifestyle changes that may have led to the problem.

I’ve added a link for a site that has lots of information on each of these areas. There are useful articles on the site and you can also sign up for a FREE e-mail mini course.
