Sciatic Pain Relief Obtaining and maintaining relief from sciatic pain is an ongoing daily process. Once you've been diagnosed with sciatica, a daily exercise routine (usually morning and evening) of stretching and strengthening the lower back is essential. It's not enough to get through the initial acute phase of sciatic pain; it's important work diligently to prevent future episodes of lower back injury as well. Minimizing the stress on the lower back is a necessary part of long-term sciatic pain relief. Supporting the lower back while sitting and avoiding standing for prolonged periods cannot be emphasized enough as effective ways to get relief from sciatic pain. Likewise, good posture at all times helps spread out the support responsibilities of the vertebrae, which reduces pressure on the affected area.  One thing that is not generally recommended for sciatic pain relief is complete bed rest. It's important to maintain good muscle tone, especially in the lower back. Better muscle tone means the spine is not doing all the support work - it's shared by strong muscles. Sciatica Home TreatmentsIf the compression is caused by swelling, you can reduce your pain by applying a Freezie Wrap® when the pain first occurs, to alleviate the swelling that is causing the compression on the nerve. Once the initial pain is reduced, treat the soft tissue inflammation with cold compression therapy for relief of sciatica pain. Freezie Wrap® Cold Therapy If you are experiencing referred pain above the knee or in your lower leg caused by the compression of your sciatic nerve, coLd compression therapy can provide some relief. The cooling sensation along with the compression can help to numb the nerves to help alleviate the pain. However, treatment of the location of the compression is most important to treat the source of this referred pain. Applying cold compression wherever you are experiencing pain will help. The Back/Hip Freezie Wrap® is versatile and can be used to treat your lower back, hip or leg. It's unique supercharged cooling gel pack, chills in the fridge, not in the freezer like ice or other freezer packs, giving you deep cold therapy without the risk of 'cold burns' or cryoburn. Treat your sciatica pain with cold compression therapy as needed throughout the day. The Back/Hip Freezie Wrap® can be used to apply cold in a safe, convenient and effective way - and the gel pack is reusable. Inferno Wrap® Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™, or BFST®, should be used over your lumbar region and lower back to improve blood flow and nourish soft tissue. Your body needs a fresh supply of blood to improve the health of your tissue and treat the muscle strain or irritation to relieve the compression of your sciatic nerve.  Unfortunately, when you are suffering from sciatica it can be painful to even walk or lift your leg. When you limit movement in your hip the blood flow is reduced, starving your tissue of the necessary oxygen and nutrients. The trick is to find a way to increase blood flow without causing pain and/or further inflaming the muscle or discs. This is where blood flow stimulation therapy, or BFST®, becomes a powerful tool. BFST® compliments your body's natural healing process By promoting blood flow while you give your sciatic nerve the rest it needs. The Back/Hip Inferno Wrap® uses a patented process to generate the same energy that is part of the sun's spectrum of light, the same energy that is necessary to all living things for optimum health. The energy emitted from the Energy Web® stimulates blood flow to your lower back and hip, more than your body would ever be able to generate on it's own, giving your body the boost it needs to keep your spine and lower back muscles as healthy as possible and reduce the risk of irritation, inflammation and herniation. The soothing energy reaches deep into your body to whisk away the toxins and dead cells, and rejuvenate your muscle tissues for improved elasticity.  With these easy-to-use, pain-free, home therapies from MendMeShop®, pain is significantly reduced, tissue heals faster, and there's an incredible improvement in the range of motion of your hip. The more diligent you are with your treatment and rehabilitation, the faster you will see successful results!

| Dear MendMeShop, I began using the Freezie Wrap (8C) and the Dorsal Night Splint (7Cp) immediately when the package arrived. I followed the instructions. The only medicine I took was 2 or 3 200 mg ibuprophen per day. (I seldom take pain killers.) The plantar faciitis was in my left foot. When the treatment began, I could not walk without great pain and even when I sat still the pain continued. Within a few days the great pain was gone, and within a month I felt pain only after a lot of walking or ballroom dancing. Before receiving your devices, I began using plantar faciitis inserts in my shoes, but that alone did not cure the problem. Now, I use the devices only when I feel slight pain after a couple of hours of walking or dancing. You provide a quality product that is easy to use and works as described on your web site.
