Sciatica is pain along the sciatic nerve's path in the leg. Its causes are multiple, but the most common form is lumbosciatica, where sciatica is associated with lower back pain.
The characteristic clinical signs are usually sufficient to make a diagnosis and initiate appropriate treatment. However, surgery is sometimes necessary.
The sciatic nerve is the most important nerve in the body. It is covered by the gluteus maximus muscle and descends vertically towards the thigh. The sciatic nerve descends vertically into the posterior compartment of the thigh where it gives off collateral branches.
In the popliteal fossa (at the knee), it divides into two terminal branches:
The tibial nerve, which innervates the posterior muscle group of the leg and the sole of the foot.
The common peroneal nerve, which innervates the anterior and lateral muscle groups of the leg and the dorsum of the foot.
THE 10-MINUTE BEDTIME TREATMENT
Continued on the next page: Take a bowl and pour ten liters of hot water into it. Make sure the water is hot enough to touch.
Add one liter of apple cider vinegar and a handful of salt to the water.
Stir to ensure the salt is completely dissolved.
Place your feet in the water and keep them there until the water begins to cool.
When you have finished the treatment, remove your feet and dry them.
Go to bed, but make sure your feet stay warm throughout the night.
To this end, you can use an extra sheet or blanket to ensure your feet stay warm. Also, when you wake up in the morning, don't get up or walk barefoot on the floor; wear socks and maybe even slippers instead.
This method is supposed to provide relief even after the first treatment. Do it every day, if necessary, until the pain disappears.
