Yet, one cannot make a blanket statement about which exercises to do without first understanding what happens to you when you move or position yourself certain ways. Treatment should always be specific to "you" ...there is no predetermined set of "sciatica exercises." It is good you tried your previous exercises as it shows you are being proactive about the situation. We tell patients that statistically speaking, once you've had an episode of sciatica, it is likely to return sometime in the future. Nine times out of ten, the same exercises that helped them the first time will help them with any further reoccurances leading to a much more controlled situation. When the previous exercises don't help, that's usually when we request they return to see us. Yet, for those with a good understanding of their body, we also recommend the following books: "How to treat your own back" by Robin McKenzie and "Rapidly reversible low back pain" by Steven May. They are both easy reads and help you understand the cause of sciatica and how you can utilize movments and/or positioning to relieve your pain. I would start with these books if you cannot make it in for formal treatment. Just be sure to read it carefully...not all the exercises will be appropriate for you...probably just one or two. They should never leave you feeling worse after you do them, if they do, it is probably the wrong one...but this is all outlined in the book..
