If you
have been suffering from sharp pain in the thighs and buttocks for more than a
week, and if the pain feels like it is “travelling” downwards, then there is a
high probability that you are suffering from Sciatica.
In order
to prevent Sciatica, you need to make appropriate changes in your general lifestyle. These changes will not just help you avoid the problem of
Sciatica, they can ensure better overall health.
How to prevent Sciatica
1. Exercise regularly: This will improve blood
circulation throughout your body and will help tone up the muscles. Moderate
regular exercise also reduces the pressure on the sciatic nerve. Just 30
minutes of walking or jogging every day is sufficient to reduce the risk of
Sciatica.
2. Maintain correct posture: If you sit for long periods of
time, correct posture becomes all-the-more important. Without proper posture,
you are putting your body at high risk of Sciatica, back and neck pain. So
whenever you sit or stand, just take a few seconds to feel your posture. Keep
your head, back and buttock in one straight line. This will help you work
without becoming uncomfortable.
3. Sleep properly: Try to sleep on your side, with
one leg placed on a small pillow. This will reduce the stress on your hips,
thighs and knees. If you want to sleep on your back, then place a pillow under
your knees. This will reduce stress on the hamstrings and back muscles.
4. Avoid lifting heavy objects: Such activities put stress on
the bones and muscles in the back, which in turn exerts pressure on the sciatic
nerve. So instead of carrying one big package containing lots of items, break
it up into two or more smaller portions.
5. Watch your weight: Carrying excess weight puts the
entire body under stress. As most of the weight is borne by your legs, the
constant pressure can end up triggering Sciatica. Thus, you should carefully
maintain your weight with diet control and regular exercise.
6. Stop smoking: While the impact of smoking on
lung health is well known, few people know that tobacco increases the risk of
inflammation and pain. If you want to avoid Sciatica, then stop smoking without
further delay.
