If you are suffering from chronic sciatica pain, you may find that gentle exercise and stretch on a daily basis can help to the back of the legs. Sciatica pain may be accompanied by sensations of tinging, numbness or weakness. It is often associated with an underlying medical condition, such as a lumbar herniated disc or spinal stenosis. The pain may be intermittent or constant, mild or severe.
Though sciatica nerve pain can be difficult to manage it and relieve its intensity. Pay attention that exercises are only permitted under the guidance of a physical therapist.

Hip Stretch
Hip stretching is an exercise that may help with your symptoward your center, extend your right leg and repeat the stretch on your left side.
Hamstring Stretch
Hamstring stretches may also release the tension caused by sciatica as the sciatica nerves run down the back of the legs. One simple hamstring stretch may be performed by standing up straight, elevating one foot in front of you and resting it on an object that is about hip distance from the floor.

In this instance, an athlete was originally diagnosed with minor quadriceps muscle strain and was treated for four weeks, with unsatisfactory results. When he came to our clinic, the muscle was not healing, and the patients’ muscle tissue had already begun to atrophy.
Upon examination using MSUS, we discovered that he had a full muscle thickness tear that had been overlooked by his previous provider. To mitigate damage and promote healing, surgery should have been performed immediately after the injury occurred. Because of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment, the patient now has permanent damage that cannot be corrected.
The most important advantage of Ultrasound over MRI imaging is its ability to zero in on the symptomatic region and obtain imaging, with active participation and feedback from the patient. Using dynamic MSUS, we can see what happens when patients contract their muscles, something that cannot be done with MRI. From a diagnostic perspective, this interaction is invaluable.
Dynamic ultrasonography examination demonstrating the full thickness tear and already occurring muscle atrophy due to misdiagnosis and not referring the patient to proper diagnostic workup
Demonstration of how very small muscle defect is made and revealed to be a complete tear with muscle contraction under diagnostic sonography (not possible with MRI)
Complete tear of rectus femoris with large hematoma (blood)
Separation of muscle ends due to tear elicited on dynamic sonography examination
