Arguably one of the most thorny conditions to live with, Sciatica does not take time off to accommodate and adjust to your sleeping schedule. More often than not, the burning, throbbing sensation all through your back or feet will jolt you awake at odd hours of the night. But that\u2019s if you are lucky enough to fall asleep in the first place.<\/p>\n
To help each and every person suffering through long, painful and sleepless nights, we have identified some of the best sleeping positions for sciatica relief as well as tips that will help ease the pain. But first, what is Sciatica and how does it come about?<\/p>\n
It all starts at the sciatic nerve<\/a>; the longest nerve in the body that runs all the way from the lower back and down each leg, ending at the feet. If any part of the nerve undergoes inflammation or compression, spinal disc herniation or a myriad of other issues, it causes a pain in the lower back, legs, and buttocks.<\/p>\n This pain that goes all through the legs and sometimes back is what is referred to as Sciatica. Additionally, some people will also experience weakness or numbness in various parts of the body.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While there are many treatments for sciatica, the main one involves taking pain medications. With time, 90 percent of the affected people usually see the problem going away in less than six weeks<\/a>. Unfortunately, poor sleeping habits see the problem recur very often.<\/p>\n Other treatments include acupuncture, steroids, surgery and spinal manipulation; but they all have one thing in common. Whether you have Sciatica or not, your sleeping positions will contribute significantly to accelerating or remedying the condition.<\/p>\nBest sleeping positions for Sciatica relief<\/h2>\n
