 Manahawkin sciatica exercise: hamstring stretch 

TIP OF THE MONTH: Stretch Hamstrings to Help Sciatic Leg Pain

Lumbar radiculopathy (pain that radiates down the leg via a spinal nerve root) really disrupts its sufferers’ quality of life. Also known as sciatica, lumbar radiculopathy defies its sufferers to really get to know their condition so that they can control it best, not fear movement, and better take care of themselves. (4) Often this starts with just an easy exercise like hamstring stretching. A review of 344 randomized control trials that analyzed the effectiveness of hamstring stretching exercise revealed that it reduces pain intensity for low back pain, improves straight leg raise ability in patients with low back pain with radicular leg pain (sciatica), and improved function for back pain patients of all sorts. (5) Let’s talk at your next Manahawkin chiropractic visit to Manahawkin Chiropractic Center about the right way to do hamstring stretching for the best results for you!
