I am an Airborne Ranger for the US Army. Jumping out of planes all the time does not help my Sciatica. Thank you.

@ltpeguero I hope the exercise helps you.Because of the compression that your spine has to undergo, you might find inversion or traction/decompression helpful when you have the opportunity to use it. Good luck!

wow i've had sciatic pain for nearly 6 months first 3 not too bad but then had to pay a chiropracter £30 for 15 mins which helped only slightly on occasion. It ruined a great holiday and i struggled since then. Daily dosage of ibuprofen, paracetomol and amatriptolene (spelling) ice packs heat patches. Nothing workrd as rapidly as this simple move, i done it first time 10 mins ago and it did move up to my ass, thank the lord for Mr McKenzie take a bow son.

@joethepope3 I'm glad you found it helpful. Frequent use will usually get rid of the worst of the symptoms within one to two weeks. After the symptoms are gone, it is a good idea to do it a few times per day for prevention.

huge thanks for the advice. my day started with minimal pain in the feet and later turned into lower back, buttox & leg pain. I could barely walk. this looks super easy but was harder than I thought while in discomfort but it worked great.

@themanoruk The osteopathic treatment may be increasing the inflammation and muscle spasm.  Forceful manipulation is sometimes helpful for disc herniations, but it may in some cases cause the muscles to spasm more and cause more inflammatory swelling to occur. Depending on the severity of the problem, osteopathic treatment may help after the inflammation goes down, or it may continue to increase symptoms.

@themanoruk It may take a few times for the ice to reduce the inflammation enough to notice a difference in symptoms. The pain was more likely related to changing positions than the ice pack, as transitioning from a lying down position to upright changes the pressure on the discs significantly as well as provokes spasmed muscles.
