(Below we'll discuss sciatic nerve pain as related to the most common cause - a bulged or herniated disc. If your sciatica is coming from a different source, this may not be the best exercise progression for you. You're encouraged to consult with your doctor or physical therapist for an individualized treatment plan.)
As a doctor of physical therapy, spine injuries are the most common condition that I treat.
It seems like at one time or another low back pain or neck pain inflicts all of us. To a degree, almost all of us will experience some degree of low back or neck pain.
Depending on the cause of your low back pain, you may experience the accompanying symptom of sciatica. This is characterized by pain/numbness/tingling down the back of your leg. It can travel to your glute, hamstring, or (in more severe cases) down into your calf and ankle.
Today I wanted to share with you the best exercises for treating sciatic nerve pain. This method of treatment is it clinically proven and backed by dozens of research studies to be the most effective exercise treatment for a common cause of sciatic nerve pain.
PHASE ONE: LAYING PRONE ON YOUR STOMACH
The simplest way to promote extension through your spine is to lay down prone on your stomach. This will create a natural curve to your back and vertebrae which will push the disc in the right direction. Gravity also works on the disc in this position to draw it closer to the center.
PHASE TWO: PRONE ON ELBOWS
Bring your elbows directly under your shoulders and lift your chest up off of the floor. Your hips/stomach should stay in contact with the floor. In this position we promote increased extension through your lower back and draw the disc a little more aggressively back in the place.
Hold this position on your elbows for about 10 seconds, then lower your chest back down to the floor for 10 seconds, then repeat. This prone on elbows extension activity should be repeated 10 times for 10-second holds two times a day.
PAHSE THREE: HALF PRONE PRESS UPS
Now bring your hands directly under your shoulders. Lift your chest up off of the floor by extending your elbows approximately halfway. Once again, your goal is to keep your stomach and pelvis in contact with the floor and promote extension through your lower back.
PHASE FOUR: FULL PRONE PRESS UPS
A full prone press up is performed in a similar manner to the half press-up; the difference now is that your goal is to fully extend your elbows. Try to keep your pelvis/stomach in contact with the floor as your extend your elbows fully and raise your shoulders as high as they can go.
PHASE FIVE: STANDING BACK BEND
The standing back bend is performed by leaning over as far as you can backwards from a standing position. This is a little more aggressive than those I previously showed because it is in a weight-bearing posture and you do have to engage some muscles to keep from falling over. However, this is a great exercise to work some of your disc material back into place and minimize those sciatic nerve symptoms.
Properly treating sciatic pain with the right exercises at the right time can be a very effective, non-invasive form of treatment for these symptoms.

If it is cured which doctor i should consult?
Tone and Tighten thank you so much. I am suffering from severe pain specially in the morning the pain in one side of my back runs down to my leg and I can get up or get straight right away. I have to wait a bit before taking a shower and get ready to go to work. Thank you
@@aejistorytimechannelforkid3598 you are so welcome - I hope that your pain continues to get better! Good luck!
If you were in front of me I would give you the biggest hug. I have endured 3 months of excruciating pain for 3 month. I figured it would get better with time....... nope.
I did three sets of the first exercise and was almost completely pain free. Maybe a centralized pain in my butbcheek but not throbbing leg pain and the numb foot. That was all gone. I cannot Thank you enough! Many Blessing to you and your family!
Going through that pain myself now brother smh , it hurts
As your video description text states - "Sciatica is pain, numbness, or tingling down the back of your leg that originates in your back and travels down your leg". I have lived with this for years. It reached my feet and toes. It affected my ability to walk correctly and worse- my ability to sleep. I thought it was being caused by simply not being active.
Twenty minutes after viewing your instructions and using your techniques, I laid in bed pain free and slept for hours for the first time in years.
Amazing!
Thank you.
Olympus61- This comment completely made my day! I am so happy that you were able to be free of pain and sleep! That is incredible. Thanks so much for sharing this!
Update- This may sound strange to some people, but I live on SS and the co-payments were dramatically increased to a point where I find obtaining professional help out of reach.
Here is what may be a strange statement- Since I have found this site, I look forward to going to bed for the first time in years.
Thank you
Olympus 61 does this really helpful to u bcus I’m suffering frm the same prblm like u I can’t sleep can’t I can’t do any thing all the tym I’m thinking abt my pain
@@aasna882 I am not sure what you are trying to say in your reply. All I can do is recommend what worked for me.
Try the exercises in the video- start out SLOW AND GENTLY. IF IT HELPS CONTINUE. IF IT MAKES THE PAIN WORSE, STOP AND LOOK FOR MORE GUIDANCE..
@@raybohn7 That is awesome! I just found this video last night and tried his exercises and felt immediate relief! I am in awe! Glad you feel better. I want to look forward to going to sleep as well. :)
Thanks, J. It came on without warning. About a week went by and it felt like someone hit me on the R hamstring with a baseball bat. Thought maybe a blood clot, so I went to my GP. He said don't try to self-diagnose and threw 30 days of muscle relaxers at me. I know now he was thinking piraformis. Didn't work, so I went back an he ordered an. MRI, which is tomorrow.
I was flipping and flipping over the last 4 month and found what works for temporary relief, then started watching YT and learning about the different causes of sciatica.
One important cause that should be considered, and nobody mentions, is a tumor. From what I understand, the body can heal an herniated disk through the normal process, where "antibodies" will reduce the protruding bits and the exterior of the jelly donut will mostly close up. Mine doesn't appear to be doing that, so the doc suspects stenosis.
The cobra definitely works temporarily. Also, laying on my back, putting the soles of my feet together and pulling them towards my butt, while letting the knees fall to opposite sides (I call it the reverse frog) provides relief. I do the reverse frog while arching the lower back off the floor.
I'm adding a fast walk to a slow run (5.5 mph) on a treadmill, incline crunches, and lat pull-downs as my only forms of exercise.
Looking forward to the MRI results. Guessing and sort of hoping it's an SI joint issue, based on the positive effect of the reverse frog. But, I need pictures. 😉
Last symptom, when the butt/leg hurts, it also shoots pain to caugh or sneeze (or valsalva). Not sure what that's about, except instability of weakened musculature. I suffered an inguinal hernia 6 months ago, which has caused me to take it easy. I think it has contributed to the sciatica issue, perhaps due to less muscle tone. Not repaired yet, but soon.
Thanks for the tips. Sitting and standing cause pain, so I'm flossing, stretching, and working on it best I can.
Hey chap, I have been seriously suffering with this for 3 weeks, unable to lay down or sit in a car, or basically do anything. I’ve been doing these exercises for 3 days and I’m feeling better already. You’re an absolute hero
So happy to hear that!
Hello dr fro Delhi I have problem with C6 and 7 I have pain stiffness tinnitus any exercise you can recommend please thx
Nice to hear you feel.better I have a sciatica pain for weeks hopefully I can do this and it can work
I have suffered with this Excruciating Sciatic Pain for weeks!! The pain is so agonizing 😭 Sitting, impossible, walking is so agonizing, laying down & sleeping almost impossible!
I am at my wit's End. The pain cannot be imagined IF YOU HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED IT... I'm Positive No One Believes you, even some Doctors!! Surgery is always suggested ( Not For Me) as I have seen so many adverse reactions!
Is there any danger in trying your Exercisers?? I am at a desperation point!
I have Always been Active and want to stay that way. Sciatica Preventers this as I'm sure you understand.. I'm not giving up. I just need to be sure I am doing the Right Thing.
I Experience All The Things you have mentioned BUT THAT PAIN OMG 👎👎👎
@@kayplayforth9007 sorry you are dealing with that, are you in physical therapy? That’s what helped me the most.
I am 27 and suffering from sciatica for a couple of months. Tried everything but didn't got any relief. Just saw your video and tried some of these exercises. I felt instant relief doing so. Really thankful to you for posting such a detailed video. I got tears in my eyes coz i was literally terrified by thinking about the future and what else I would've gone through carrying this pain.
Oh, I am so glad you are finally feeling better! Thanks for sharing!
Mishal, How are you now?
I’m 34 got it after the Covid shot Iunno I feel like I have siatica and also groin pain and muscle pain in thighs what could it be
ekhon kemon ache , how are you now?
Really ?
Dr. Jared, I have dealt with spinal stenosis for about 8 years now. I am 67 years old and active in exercising daily. But my back has effected my life. I found your site by looking up how to stretch my hip flexors. Your explanation on back back, hip flexors has been very helpful and your exercises are so effective. I finally had a great nights sleep and woke up with no back pain for the first time in a long time. Thank you so much for your effective explanations of back pain and the exercises you have shown. Great information. I will continue to use your videos and have shared them with others.
I really like how he explains things where a non medical person can understand! Thanks!
After a couple of surgical procedures and physical therapy sequences, I get for the first time the best explanation for the whole phenomenon from your thoughtful and very demonstrative (with your partner) presentation. The graphics are great too! Congratulations on your creativity and public service! The exercises are easy to do and work well for me!
Every video I watched was about leg stretching, and has not helped at all! This video was the first to address fixing the problem and not just the pain. Thank you so much
You are welcome, Melania! I am so glad you found this helpful! Thank you for sharing!
Same for me. I just found some yoga poses but your video was much more informative about the cause and solution and how to go into it easily without hurting myself further. Thanks a lot. I'll be trying this out for a few weeks and I'll let you know how it works for me.
I have this problem from more than 5 years .. it goes is comes .. don't know the permanent solution.....
@@rajinndorsinghsaroya9 same bro. My sciatica pain gone a year ago but came yesterday due to wrong dead lift posture ☹️. What to do now. ..
How are you feeling now? my pain is now centralized but still debilitating thank god i haven't had sciatic nerve pain i would have probably been in heaven if I never got steroid injections but I cant keep getting them because it will just do worse long term
After following these steps for 2 months, I've felt my sciatica pain slowly go back up to my lower back. Thank you again for creating this video🤙🏽
Thank you for sharing these, It helped me. I started doing daily stretching to relieve the uncomfortable tension. Most of the stretches were forward, Without knowing it I did these two stretches backwards couple of times in my routine without thinking much of them. And left them out cause they were not part of the routine I am used to. But today I watched your video and diliberately did these backward bends. The relief was magnified and felt straight away. From now on these backward bends are in my routine.
Thank you for taking the time out to do/post this video. You helped me understand my condition much better. The exercises work! You're an angel!
My pleasure! So glad you are finding it helpful!
Been dealing with my back pain since 3 weeks. I’m so glad I saw your video. I thank you with all my heart. After watching it, I started doing the exercises. Now my pain is mostly gone:)
Charel - this is AWESOME! Thanks so much for sharing! I hope that the pain doesn't come back. Have a great day.
After suffering on and off with sciatica for years and last week having a massive episode of back spasms. Literally knocking me on the floor! Stumbled across your video late last week and forced myself to run through a few repetitions over the weekend… wow!
You sir are a life saver and this will now be part of my weekly routine.
Amazing advice that will hopefully keep me upright and pain free going into my late 50’s 🙏
I love to hear this! Thank you for sharing and I am so glad you are feeling better!
I am a senor citizine may be I canot do it
@@toneandtighten is there no answer or suggestions for the senior citizen?
Oh God so you mean no drugs for sciatica problem?
@@juliebuenaflor3102 I am 67 and do it easily.
I want to give you my thanks. The way you present this material is my personal favorite, diving right into useful information that is broken down and made easy to understand immediately.
These exercises have eliminated my lower back pain!
I appreciate your kind comment!
What is happening in me right now. It's about 2 years I am experiencing such kind of unusual pain . I am going to start my exercise. Thank you so much
This helped a lot after the first session. Today was the first time I noticed any amount of sciatic pain. I've had random tingling or numbness in the past, but never to the point of any concern. I will be checking out your other videos. Thank You.
Glad it helped!
WOW!!! I'm dealing with this problem periodically for the last 5 years and never been able to find the right solution. On a pain level I was at 8/10 and by doing this simple exercises, in less than 5 minutes my pain completely went away. I'm literally shock, this video literally just changed my life
that’s awesome! I hope it works the same for me when I try it after work!!
This is wonderful news, Jimmy! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for helping others out, Aussie Girl! I hope these help you!
Thank you for the anatomy and physiology to the creation of sciatic pain. I have been battling for four years without any of the reliefs. Hope to begin with your advice and May God help me to be well soon. Thank you!
Thank you so much for these demonstrations.I have suffered a lot from siatica pains.I am going to practice this and will give the feed back
By doing these exercises l felt less pressure. Less numbness and tingling in my legs. Less pain in my back. Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you for your videos, I love how you explain the experience/stretch's. My therapist has given me most of these sciatica nerve exercises, but with out the explanation, as time does not really allow it. This started happening after a full knee replacement surgery. The pain has caused me to lose sleep to many nights. Anyway thanks for your supporting videos 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
You bet! I am glad you are finding them helpful and thanks for commenting!
I haven’t had relief like this in weeks! Thank you so much for your wonderful advice and direction. DEFINITELY subscribing!
That is AMAZING! I am so glad this helped you so much and thanks for your support!
I like that you are deliberate, you get straight to the point with enough “education” so that I understand the what and why, but get to the point of the video. All this to say, that the video was very helpful and no time wasted. Thank you.
Thanks so much for your support and comment!
Oh. My. God! 4 months of medication and injnections and only pain
You two gorgeous people helped relieve that in a single session in less than 15 minutes!
Thank you!
This comment makes me so happy! Thank you so much for sharing!
You do a fabulous job of explaining the pain source. Super easy to follow! I'm starting to work on your exercises and pray they help get rid of my pain! Thanks for all your efforts in making this video!
Thanks so much and you are welcome! I hope they help relieve your pain!
@@toneandtighten I couldn't of said it better. Thank you sharing your knowledge. Dealing with the pain is depressing at times. Videos like yours gives hope.
Thanks Jerad for the explanation. I’ve been doing these exercises for some time now and I feel great already. ✌🏼
You are welcome! I am so glad you are noticing an improvement and thank you for sharing!

You're so welcome, Vanessa! That is wonderful news!
This makes so much sense. Thank you for sharing in layman’s terms! I will start my stretches NOW!
You're so welcome!

You are so welcome! I am glad you found it helpful!
Jared, thank you so much for putting these videos together I’ve been in intense pain for a week. I can only lie on my front at the moment, but that has given me instant relief, pins and needles in my foot stop straight away.
You are so welcome!
He said sleeping on stomach is a no no in another video. Yet a friend of mine says it's the only way she finds relief when trying to sleep.
Just experienced this pain of my back down to the back of my left knee a couple of days back and this video of yours helps me a lot to recover. Thank you.
Wonderful news! You are welcome and thanks for sharing.

Hi Jared. May God continue to bless you for this video. I'd been in excruciating sciatic nerve pain for the past 2 weeks. Visited chiropractic guys and did estim but none helped. I watched your video this morning after taking my pain reliever and decided to try your exercise. BEHOLD IT WORKS LIKE MAGIC. I've been to work and back and decided to send you my words of gratitude. Thanks a million.
So recommended for herniated disk.
You are so welcome!

Hi now viewing your program for the first time it was very informative, loved the charts and your explanations were simple and to the point. So appreciate you taking the time to do this. Now I know what to do should this excruciating pain attack me again. I have already subscribed to your channel and will be following you from now on. Who knew that getting old would be so darn challenging. Thank you for what you do, you are a true blessing to those who can't afford to visit a professional like yourself. God bless you and your God given gift and your beautiful wife. You both look so healthy. Thank God.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, am going to try these simple exercises.
Kila - thanks so much! I appreciate it. I hope that these exercises help!
Your videos did help a bit I'm gonna keep doing this. I keep getting severe lower back pain, not in my legs just by the tailbone. Thank you for posting these. You're a good man helping out us old folk

Wonderful news and you are very welcome!
@@toneandtighten what medicine pain relieever
I am 28 and was diagnosed with a lumbar disk herniation around 5 years ago. Pain has always been there, and was totally affecting my life to the point I had to stop playing the sports I liked and prevented me from keeping a healthy lifestyle. A week ago I told myself that was enough and I looked for a video to help with the pain, and I came across your video. I have to say this was like magic, only a week and pain has reduced by a lot, I was able to play sports again! I will make this part of my daily life, I'm excited to see if the pain can go away entirely. I just want to say thank you. I wish I saw this earlier, but I am thankful I didn't see it later.
Did it go away?
It go ?
Hello how is your pain now??
Jesus Christ it took you 5 years to seek help? lol
Thank you so much! God bless you more!
Junian - thank you! I appreciate your kind words! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

You are welcome! I am glad these are helping and thanks for sharing!
Hi Dr Jared.. thank you so much for your video.. it really helped me to know what I'm suffering from, lessen the pain and I think it's also getting better. However, when I sit a little long like now watching a lot of your videos, the pain in my butt and hip comes back. When I get up from the seat, I am like an old woman getting up very slowly. While I'm still doing your exercises and healing, do you have any tips on how to sit or what to sit on to make my sitting with sciatica better? Really appreciate it! I love your videos!!
I’m so glad these exercises are actually working nd it’s healing my pain every single day... Thank you doc so much ..
My pleasure! I am glad they are helping!
This was more informative than my own doctor! I have been dealing with sciatic pain on my right side and I am now starting to feel like my right calf is a little heavy with slight tingling and numbness in my foot.

Hello, I'm new to your channel. And I've watched a number of your videos now in search of some relief. According to past tests I've had, I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease at 30 years old. And after pulling my back out for the 2nd time at 30yo (the 1st at 25yo) I contracted Guillain-Barre syndrome due to a flu shot in '04 leaving me paralyzed from the neck down for over four months & before my back at time to heal properly. I'm now 54yo & I still have chronic fatigue, & severe pain due to the nerve damage caused by my GBS, clawed hands, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, drop foot & wear afo braces on both legs, & I've been told that I most likely need both knees replaced. And after my most recent MRI back in 7/22 I was told that I have 3 bulging disks, with now debilitating sciatica pain going down my right leg on the side to the top of my foot, & down my left leg in the back down to & under my heel. Would you have any suggestions as to which of these exercises might be best for me? 😬
I was truly AMAZED at how fast this worked!! Thank you! thank you! thank you!!
Wonderful, Kim! You are very welcome!
Thank you, I’ve been having this aching pain down my legs and I will try these exercises.
You are welcome! I hope they help!
I have recently discovered you channel, and very happy that I did. The way you explain everything so thoroughly, and clearly is really great. Not only am I learning exercises that I can utilize, but I am learning the cause of the problem, and then some. You are using the medical terminology, but also explaining what those words means so that I can understand, and get educated. I really appreciate that. Subbed. ATB from Norway 🇳🇴
Thank you so much for your kind comment and support!
Is it safe to continue barbell hip thrusts with sciatica? I used to do 300 lbs and now I’m just doing 155 lbs using low bench. I started doing your gentle strengthening exercises last night and this morning, I’m feeling great. I stopped doing sit ups and moved to planks. Your videos are really great!!
Your video was super helpful! Very well explained and demonstrated. I've already started the exercises and will continue with them twice a day. Thank you so much!
You're very welcome, Louise! I hope they help you! Thanks for commenting.

Its been a year, can I ask you how you are doing now?
Thx, I have got the same problem for about 7 month now. It is helpful. Mark, Tanzania
Wow. Brilliant explanation. Really great content. Thank you
What a good video thank you!!! My wife has been having the same exact symptoms that you’ve explain. This will help her. Thank you!! Great job.
Great video, I was suffering from back pain for 2 weeks, ended it in 10 mins after watching this video. Thanks
Great news, Muhammad Shehzad! You are very welcome and thank you for commenting!
Mine was caught early and this is my 2nd week into healing. Since mine never got to the point where I am always in pain, I did this exercise for about 20 mins and got immediate results. It went from my knee to a little bit farther up and I could notice less stress on the nerve! Thank you!
Lucky you!
did it go away? how long it took?
@@hqcart1 It never fully went away for me even with physical therapy, but at least it's tolerable now. It's off and on and I can no longer climb ladders.
@@PorpleSkies try a 1 hour yoga, i did it yesterday and today i don't feel a thing, i am not sure if it will come back or not, but for now i feel no pain at all.
update: it came back everyday, so i am doing extra glutes excersizes, and now i am 50% less pain on average than the day it started.
Hello. I came across this video being gotten treated for my back pain as manual therapy in Korea . During my treatment I got interesed in learning the term of anatomy. And on that note, your video is very useful and you do a fabulous job of explaining a kind of various pains. Also it is really useful because stretching skill is similar to what my physical therapist told. From now on I am also starting to work on exercise you recommed it 💪💜
Great job of explaining what’s going on. Thank you.
Thank you and you are welcome, Swimbait1! I hope this helps you!
Feel better after the exercise..Thanks a lot!
kvt, that is awesome! I am happy to hear that. Thanks for leaving a comment!
Thanks for the great information. I suffer from pain down my leg. I have seen many doctors and therapists. I’ve had RFD as well. Now I’m considering a 3 level fusion. Lower back pain.
Thank you very much doctor for your advise,i have had this pain for many years now on and off,i am going to do this excersise as you showed hoping it will be helpful.
Jared you're the man!! God bless you dude 💜
You're very welcome, Hempyote! I hope they help you! Thanks so much for your kind comment!
Thank you very much…as I watch and heard your explanation I applied it to myself…that moment when I watch your video I was suffering for a severe pain and that I’ve known that it is called sciatica… it was really a relief and very effective…
I am so glad it was helpful, Teresita!
Thank you so much, im doing the treatment now and i can tell
Its working your the best.
Thank you for the good informations about sciatic nerve,.God bless you.
Very informative video. I really appreciated how you spoke about how and why sciatica occurs. Was wondering if the cause of the problem was in a tight glute muscle, what would you recommend as a way of treating it. Specifically again the kind of exercises i should do.
In my case, i have very little pain in the lower back with quite a bit of pain in the glute and also just below the calf.
I love your explaination. It's very clear and easy to understand. I am a thai massage therapist and lots of people come to me with this problem. So I will show them your video so they can help themselve as well.
Thanks a lot your great work!
Sunisa - thank you so much for your kind comment! I appreciate it. Best of luck to you with your massage therapy practice. Thanks for sharing my video with your clients!
I thanked you before I got to the excersize part...NOW I REALLY THANK YOU after doing the movements...Relief...I don't know yet if I will be able to walk more then 20 feet or even stand for a minute without extreme pain after a few days of doing this stretch regularly...I will let you know...Serious fall off ladder months ago...bed ridden since...Sciatica area 🔥burns constantly...I use a handicap cart to grocery shop and bringing them into house brings me to tears...i live alone...I'm a 77 year old woman who is so thankful to you...I'll be in touch of I can figure how to get back to you...lol...
how is it a week later?
I feel sorry for what you are going through, but cannot understand why you were climbing ladders at 77 yrs old. I am the same age and when I retired 11 yrs ago the last advice given by our retirement course lecturer was, “ If you have a ladder at home either sell it or give it away.”
Thank you so much for this video. You nailed it. I learnt a lot. I had a slipped disc a long time ago and recently was having this same pain down the back of my left leg
You are so welcome and thank you for your kind comment!
Thank you for these exercise I'm definitely going to try them
You're so welcome, Saldie! I hope they help and thanks for commenting!
Great video. Well presented and well explained, very helpful.
Thanks so much, Tom! I appreciate it your kind comment.
I definitely felt the pain going away as I progressed so these exercises were the ones i needed. Keep up you....
Wonderful news!
Thank you. This two words barely express the amount of gratitude I have.
You're very welcome!
