How to treat sciatica in pregnant women

Sciatica in pregnant women can be treated by braking and resting, physical therapy, and the use of a belly band. 1. Braking and resting: When sciatica occurs after pregnancy, it is necessary to brake and reduce the activity of the affected limbs during the acute attack of pain. Rest in bed and avoid sitting or bending over for a long time. 2. Physiotherapy: Simple massage techniques can be used to relieve the fatigue of local muscles and joints. Most pregnant women will experience relief of sciatica after delivery. 3. Use of abdominal belts and other aids to help support the fetus, in order to reduce the load on the lumbar spine. If the above methods cannot relieve the symptoms of sciatica, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital as soon as possible for examination and cooperate with the doctor’s treatment.
