Sciatic pain is one of the most common causes of pain in the lower back, legs, buttocks, and feet. Its symptoms include pain in the back of the thigh, lower back, buttocks, popliteal fossa, back or outer side of the calf, and even pain and swelling in the heel.
Relieving the pain of sciatic nerve pain attacks is not always easy. While physical therapy is medium to long-term solutions, these methods take time to take effect. So how can you sciatic pain be quickly relieved?
According to Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), sciatic nerve pain is often attributed to cold obstruction, meaning exposure of the legs and lower back to cold. Effective relief can be achieved by applying acupressure to specific points, and it can be done in 8 minutes or even less at anytime and anywhere, making it convenient and effective.
The prssure points for sciatica are:
Press and massage the Kunlun point on the outside of the heel
Which side of the leg hurts, press and massage the acupuncture point on which side. This acupoint is in the socket on the outside of the heel. Pressing and massaging on the acupoint, you will be able to feel a large tendon. If you find the point that is more painful, pressing and massaging for at least 5-10 minutes. You can feel the pain gradually reduce slightly when massaging the legs.
Tap gently on Huantiao acupoint
In the vicinity of Huantiao acupoint on the buttocks, look for the pain point that does not hurt when you press it, and beat it with your fists. Pay attention to the point where it is more painful to tap. It is better for the treatment of sciatica. If it is too large, it can be within the range of your own tolerance.
