Regular exercise, ideally on a daily basis, is a critical part of a healthy lifestyle to achieve and maintain a healthy body and mind and long life. Being sedentary is not a good thing and as I've mentioned in previous posts, it can be one of the factors causing you to be in pain. For example, prolonged sitting on a daily basis over the years can lead to a shortened/tight piriformis muscle in the hip, leading to "piriformis pain", a common form of sciatica.
Exercise is vital - But as we all know, everything has its appropriate time and place and there are exceptions to every rule. When you're suffering and need sciatic nerve pain relief and back pain relief, one is in a special situation. So the question is; Is continuing or starting to exercise a good idea when you have back pain and sciatic nerve pain?
Simply put - No. The common exercises people choose to do often make these pain conditions worse not better. For instance, do you like to go jogging or cycling? Unfortunately, as I discussed earlier in Muscle Imbalance - The Secret Source Of Piriformis Pain and Sciatica Back Pain, runners and bikers can wind up with piriformis syndrome too right along with the desk jockeys, because if they neglect to do the right stretches their piriformis muscle gets tight/inflexible as it gets stronger from exercise. Eventually it puts pressure on the sciatic nerve and so they get piriformis pain.
The above example illustrates why we need to be careful about what exercises we do when seeking sciatic nerve pain relief - We have to FIRST identify the physical dysfunctions that are creating the pain or else we can't know what will aggravate the problem. There are several potential causes to any case of back pain or sciatic nerve pain. Until you figure out what's the cause of the pain in your back, thigh or buttocks, you can't know if the exercise you're doing is just going to reinforce your pain. And the odds are very good that it will...
There are very easy tests you can do for yourself to find out what specific sciatic nerve pain condition or back pain condition (or both) you're suffering from. The self-assessment allows you to find out what the hidden root cause of your persistent pain is so you can move forward in eliminating it - You can learn it from this book available free when you click here.
Exercising is a must. But sciatica and back pain are not forgiving conditions. It is usually wisest to take a break from all exercise until you determine the muscle imbalance and physical dysfunction your body is affected by and start eliminating it. You don't want to be jogging every day and tightening your already-tight piriformis that's giving you sciatica; or doing heavy weightlifting and disturbing a herniated disc even more and so on.
Treat yourself as a good doctor treats you: “First Do No Harm.” The muscle imbalances and related dysfunctions contributing to the pain you're going through developed over time around factors like which muscles you naturally favor when you walk and stand; what injuries you've had; what sports you played; what exercise program you follow; how you sit; how long you sit on average... So we have to hit pause so to speak on our physical activities for a little while and trace what got us here and is keeping us here in pain and get rid of it.
When you learn the true nature of your personal case of sciatic nerve pain/back pain by identifying the muscle imbalances behind it, then you can find out what exercise you can do and what exercise you can't do (for now) to become pain free fast...
