Prevention from Sciatica

 There are ways of preventing sciatica and most of them relate to your posture. It is important to employ proper lifting techniques for preventing sciatica. Also try to pick up all your low lying items by bending your knees so that you can avoid mechanical back problems. You can ensure flexibility of your back by performing stretching exercises. This allows your back to be healthier.

Another important thing to prevent sciatica is to maintain healthy weight. Overweight and obese people are more likely to develop back and knee problems, including sciatica and arthritis.
