For Sciatica Pain
- Exercise Ball // Yoga Ball for Sciatica Relief : We can’t recommend this enough for pregnant women! If you are dealing with sciatica, try sitting on your ball throughout the day [especially if you have a desk job!] You can also use it in the evening instead of sitting on the couch. Using the ball can promote good posture and take pressure off the sciatic nerve. Practice diaphragmatic breathing and pelvic mobility for an added bonus!
- Massage Balls : Massage balls, like the ones we share below, are great tools for pinpointing muscle tension and providing relief.
- Magnesium : Magnesium is great tool for tackling all sorts of pregnancy discomforts, including sciatica! Try taking regular epsom salt baths OR use a topical form of magnesium on your low back and pelvis.
- Muscle Stick or Foam Roller : Some women love to foam roll, while others prefer to use a muscle stick to address tight muscles and areas of pain. They are similar in HOW they help with muscle tension, but they are different.
- Belt for Sciatica : A pregnancy belt may be beneficial for some women who have sciatica, especially if they are also experiencing pelvic or crotch pain. The belt can add support to a pregnant women’s instable pelvis. Try using the belt when you are active — standing, walking, exercise, etc.
- Lumbar Supports : Low back support pillows can be helpful when you are sitting for longer periods of time! Your low back is already overworked during pregnancy, so the added stress of poor sitting posture can make your pregnancy sciatica and low back pain symptoms worse. It’s a MUST for travel!
