Sciatic Back Pain Relief Exercise

Park Chiropractor

This is a great exercise to do if you are having lower back pain or sciatic nerve pain.

You will be doing 10 extensions at a time. The frequency that you will be doing this exercise will be decided by your chiropractor or physical therapist.

Lay facedown on the ground. Use your arms to press your upper body up to the ceiling. You can either get on your elbows or use your hands. Press up and hold in extension for 1 second. Then, bring your chest back down to the floor.

Keep your hips on the ground and use your arms to lift you (not your back).

IF THIS EXERCISE HURTS, DON'T DO IT.

Slight discomfort is normal and ok, but pain is not.

Listen to your body.

If this exercise doesn't help, use our online scheduler to book an examination with our Inman Park chiropractor.
