Sciatica Treatment At Home

Sciatica Treatment methods that are promoted online are often presented
as the "one and only cure" for sciatica. Many of these methods are
fine to use, but anyone who is promoting a single cure for sciatica is
simply missing the big picture.

Because most of the individuals in the online sciatica treatment market
are not health care professionals, they lack the training and
experience to know that there are several different causes for sciatica
symptoms. Typically, these individuals have discovered something that
worked for them when other things had failed. Because their experience
is limited to what worked for them, they don't realize that what worked
for them may not work for everyone and may even make some people
WORSE!

As a practicing doctor of chiropractic with 20 plus years of clinical
experience and having treated hundreds of sciatica cases, I can tell
you that the first step in finding an effective sciatica treatment that
works for you is to try to determine the cause of your particular
symptoms. The majority of sciatica cases fall into one (and sometimes
both) of two categories:
* Nerve Compression (most often from a herniated or ruptured disc)
* Muscular Contraction (most often of the piriformis and/or gluteus
minimus muscles)

Most of the sciatica home treatment products you'll find online are
primarily for sciatica due to muscular contraction. There's nothing
wrong with these products and they can be effective - IF your sciatica
is actually due to muscle contraction and NOT nerve compression!

But, if you are trying to do sciatica treatment at home and you're
using methods that address the wrong cause, not only will your efforts
be ineffective, they may actually increase your symptoms.

For example, I have seen some individuals recommending the "downward
dog" yoga position as a sciatica treatment exercise. This will usually
help when the sciatica symptoms are caused by muscle contraction in the
buttock area, but unfortunately, the forward bending of the spine
(particularly if your form is not perfect, and chances are it may not
be simply because you're in pain) will tend to make bulging discs bulge
even more, and cause increased nerve compression and pain.

Sciatica Treatment Downward Dog-

As I said before, effective sciatica treatment at home begins with
attempting to determine the cause of your sciatica symptoms.

The video above goes into more detail, but there are a couple of basic
tests you can use.

The first thing to check for is for signs of "nerve root tension",
which indicates that nerve compression and irritation are involved in
your sciatica. The straight leg raise shown below is a simple test to
detect nerve root tension:

Sciatica Treatment Straight Leg Raise Test-

An increase in your sciatica symptoms when straightening the leg as
shown above is usually a sign that one or more of the nerve roots that
form the sciatic nerve are being compressed and irritated - and
suggests that your sciatica treatment should focus on nerve compression
techniques more than muscle contraction treatments.

A test for the most common muscular cause of sciatica is to place
tension on the piriformis muscle as shown below:

Sciatica Treatment Test For Piriformis-

An increase or decrease in sciatica symptoms with placing tension on
the piriformis is suggestive that muscle contraction is the primary
source of your problem and suggests that your home sciatica treatment
regimen focus on releasing overly tight muscles.

Now that you have a better idea of what may be causing your sciatica,
you are ready to move on to the next video in the series that discusses
how to get started with sciatica treatment. To continue on to the

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.

ZORGIUM note to content providers: If you don't want your page to appear in Zorgium's search abstraction then put an exclusion for "Zorgium" in your web server's robots.txt file.
