Sciatica
WHAT IS SCIATICA AND WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT?
In order to understand the solution, one must first understand the problem. The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body and can be ¾ of an inch in diameter. It is formed by the spinal nerves of L-4 through S-3, branches through holes in the sacrum, forms one large nerve, travels under and sometimes through the piriformis muscle then travels down the back of the thigh.
The Sacro Wedgy® has helped thousands relieve or control sciatica simply by giving the piriformis muscle a chance to relax, rebalance and release the sciatic nerve. Simply lie on your back, place the Sacro Wedgy® under the sacrum and relax. With the sacrum isolated, cradled and elevated, hips are now free to relax. As the hips drop and relax, the piriformis muscle that inserts at the hip, has no choice but to also relax and let go of the nerve. For once, gravity works in our favor!
Now that you see how large and involved the sciatic nerve is with the piriformis muscle, it is easier to understand how the piriformis muscle, which attaches to the front of the sacrum, if too tight on one side can cause the "symptom" referred to as sciatica or "pain in the butt".
Sciatica
Formed by the spinal nerves of vertebrae L-4 through S-3, the sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the human body. It runs from the lower back down the leg.
