  • What helps with sciatica?

    The best thing to do to relieve sciatica to relieve the pressure of the nerve in the first place. The pressure on that nerve sciatic nerve is either coming from the low back at Levels, L5 S 1. Or the piriformis muscle being tight and pressing on the sciatic nerve as its passing through the pelvis area. Depending on the source of the problem, there are two different approaches. If the problem is lumbar area, then you may need to lie on your stomach and prop up on Elbows . If its coming from a tight muscle, the piriformis muscle then you would lie on your back and do a figure four stretch, Both approaches will be slightly painful while performing the move, but relieving when you are done with the move. There should never be pain after completing the move, if you have pain after completing the move then these approaches are not advisable. This platform of question answer can only serve as a guide and should never take the place of seeing a physical therapist. READ MORE

  • How can I get rid of ankle arthritis pain?

    Arthritis and a joint, especially the ankle is painful and to answer your question. Think of it in two parts, 1. If it is acute meaning, the joint is hot and swollen, then you need to ice it. 2. If it is chronic meaning, the pain has been there for over a month and its not necessarily a flareup where it would be hot and swollen then you can put heat on your ankle. Most important Is to regain strength in the muscles around the ankle, including the muscles of the foot, and this is done in the pain-free range of motion. I would also recommend an ankle sleeve to maintain some of your own body temperature heat, and a supportive shoe, preferably high top for extra support until you can regain the strength and decrease the pain. And when youre not on your feet, elevate Your foot above your heart. READ MORE
