Sitting Spinal Stretch
Sciatica is caused by compression of vertebrae in your spine. This simple exercise can establish some spots in this area to ease tension on the nerve. Firstly, extend your legs while sitting on the floor with upward-flexed feet. Bend the left knee and put the foot flat on the outside of the other knee. Put the right elbow on the outside of the left knee. Stay in this position for 20 seconds. Do it 3 times and switch to the other side. [6]
