0:00 Introduction: 3 nutrient deficiencies behind sciatica
0:39 The sciatic nerve
1:30 Surgery for sciatic nerve pain
2:19 Sciatic pain and vitamin D
4:21 Magnesium deficiency and sciatica
5:40 Vitamin B12 and sciatic nerve pain
7:30 Sciatica pain relief exercises
Today, Im going to share a few natural sciatica pain remedies! The sciatic nerve is the longest and largest nerve in the body. It extends from the lower back, down the back of the leg, to the bottom of the foot.
Surgery for sciatica can cause side effects like failed back surgery syndrome. Because 90% of sciatica pain will often resolve by itself, invasive procedures are best saved as a last resort.
Sciatic pain often gets worse in the winter, which would explain why vitamin D deficiency is a major contributor. If youre dealing with inflammation, you need high amounts of vitamin D daily.
Vitamin D is a potent anti-inflammatory and works similarly to Prednisone without the side effects. It helps to repair the nerves, disc, connective tissue, and muscles involved with sciatica.
Magnesium deficiency can also contribute to sciatica because its essential for keeping your muscles relaxed. You also need adequate magnesium for vitamin D to work in the body.
Vitamin B12 is involved with several aspects of the nervous system and can cause numbness, tingling, and burning pain if youre deficient. Its highly anti-inflammatory, and a deficiency can also contribute to sciatica.
Most people don't get enough sun, so unless youre taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D each day, you could end up deficient. If you have sciatica, try upping your dose of vitamin D3 to 20,000 to 30,000 IU daily.
Around 800 mg of magnesium each day can be beneficial for sciatica. Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chocolate, almonds, leafy greens, bone broth, and spinach are good food sources of magnesium.
Red meat and other animal products provide plenty of vitamin B12.
Try these simple sciatica exercises focused on stretching the fascia to say goodbye to your sciatic nerve pain!
