Sciatic Nerve Mobilization

In this video, I am demonstrating a sciatic nerve mobilization technique that I use with some patients. Mobilization of the nervous system can be a helpful strategy for reducing nerve-related pain.

In this particular mobilization, the leg is lifted with the knee straight until the first sign of stretch or discomfort appears. Then, the ankle is actively moved through plantarflexion and dorsiflexion to target the sciatic nerve.

By moving in a specific pattern, neural mobilization is thought to help the nerve and its branches slide against adjacent tissues, increase blood flow and reduce symptoms.

I had sciatica before and go to the chiropractor. They gave me certain workout to do it everyday to be mobile. I do cycling at home on the bike to make your glute works. Take care of foods also no more process food. I’m a vegetarian. Thank god I’m good now. It’s all about lifestyle. Keep on moving and I do walking too everyday at the age of 56 then. No more problem on the lumbar L3 and L4. A squatting position also in yoga help me a lot in fix the back pain for 300 counts to get strong mussel at the leg.

Que tal Doc?, porque la tensión cuello, occipital a la altura del cerebelo (que es lo que controla el equilibrio)deriva en desequilibrios crónicos, en mi caso hace casi un año, aunque a pesar de todo me permite hacer caminatas y en ocasiones correr algunos minutos.Tambien tengo tensión visceral, por si tendría relación con el nervio frenico.

Caution: Never try this technique on
Conditions like

- Straightening of the lumbar spine lordosis likely related to muscle spasm and back pain

- Degenerative changes of the lumbar spine pronounced at the L4-5 disk level, seen as broad-based degenerative disk bulge with central disk herniation and caudal migration in conjunction with facet joint degenerative arthropathy and ligamentum flavum thickening causing significant spinal canal stenosis with mass effect on the cauda equina nerve roots giving packed appearance as well as narrowing of both lateral recesses with encroachment on traversing L5 nerve roots. There is moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing.

This mobilization technique will cause more pressure on the sciatica nerve I observed in my clinical practice.
