Sciatica is an intense pain that occurs along the sciatic nerve from the lower back down the leg.
This can make movement difficult and interfere with daily life. A common question is: should one opt for sciatica?
Walking with sciatica: is it recommended?
Contrary to popular belief, lying down completely is not always the best solution. A gentle, slow walk can:
Improve blood circulation and accelerate healing.
Avoid the muscle stiffness that accompanies immobilization.
Reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve, especially if you walk slowly and steadily.
However, it is important to adapt your walking style:
Avoid long distances.
Walk on flat terrain, without steep ascents or descents.
