Sciatic Nerve Pain Relief Guide: Sciatic Nerve Pain Relief from the Fridge by Chaves Angles

Sciatica is nothing to be taken lightly. Not that anybody would, of course, pain that travels on one's back, to the buttocks, down to thighs and toes could make anybody forget what it's like to take anything lightly. Who would have thought that Sciatic nerve pain relief could so simple that it can be found on your very own refrigerator?

Cold pressure treatment is best done with an ice pack, sciatic nerve pain relief isn't very different from many other types of nerve and muscle pain treatments, the point is to numb the area where one feels the pain. Once the area is numb, or at the very least the pain is bearable, stretch the muscles of the area with small movements to relieve stress on the nerve. You might have to do this up to three or four times, reapplying the ice when the numbness wears off.

Sciatic nerve pain relief doesn't have to be as difficult to find as it is difficult to deal with the pain. If you don't have an ice pack you can take some ice from the freezer, and rub it in circles around the area where the pain is felt. Be mindful of the bony part of the spine and make sure you avoid that when you're applying the ice, stop application as soon as the area starts feeling numb and begin to stretch the muscles of that area. Do this for the first few days of the pain being most intense, keeping it up as the pain stays unbearable.
