A. To reduce sciatica pain, you can try a combination of home remedies, gentle exercises, and medical guidance: Stretching and gentle exercises: Regularly stretch your lower back, hips, and hamstrings. Yoga poses like child’s pose, cat-cow, and piriformis stretch can help relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. Hot and cold compresses: Apply a cold pack for the first 48 hours to reduce inflammation, then switch to heat to relax muscles. Posture correction: Avoid sitting or standing for too long. Use a chair with good back support and keep your feet flat on the floor. Stay active: Gentle walking can help reduce pain and stiffness. Bed rest may worsen the pain over time. Over-the-counter pain relief: Paracetamol or ibuprofen can help, but consult your doctor if you are pregnant or have other conditions. Physical therapy: If pain persists, a physiotherapist can guide you with personalized stretches and strengthening exercises. If the pain is severe, constant, or affects your leg movement or bladder control, seek medical attention promptly.
