Sciatica Test – Do You Have It?

So let’s do the test. An easy and simple sciatica test to let you know if you might have it. Anyone can do it, after all, you only need two things:

1 – A Floor

2 – A Friend – or an aqquaintance that would do it for a latte. (Hey, it’s still cheaper than a doctor’s co-pay).

Alright, so now you have the basics. What’s next? Well, first, don’t stress. I promise you this will be the easiest test you have ever had.

Your At Home Sciatica Test

1. Lay on the floor with your legs straight

2. Have your friend sit beside you

3. Take the leg that does not hurt and raise it off the ground

4. Have your friend make a note of how high you can raise this leg

5. Now put the leg that does not hurt down and lift the leg that does hurt

6. Have your friend make a note of how high you can lift this leg before your pain starts.

Your Results (drumroll please)…If the leg that is bugging you cannot be raised as high as the leg that is not hurting, odds are it is related to your sciatic nerve.

Who knew it could be this easy to know for sure?

Of course, you should talk to your doctor and all that jazz if you feel like you need a definite answer. This test is just a simple way of knowing what avenues you and your doctor should explore.

If you think your sciatica test is positive, try some natural sciatic nerve pain treatment options. You will also want to journal anything you try. In addition, be sure that you talk with your doctor at least once. The last thing you want is for your pain to get worse.
