Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve. There are many different types of sciatica. Stress, depression and negative emotions in general can lead to sciatica. This condition can be caused by compression of the vertebrae in the back, so a simple sciatica stretch can alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve. To do this, place your left elbow on the outside of your right knee and hold it for 30 seconds. Repeat three times. This exercise is effective in alleviating pain from sciatica and can also help prevent a ruptured disk.
