How to relieve sciatic nerve pain without exercise?

Sleeping on your side with a thick pillow between your knees helps a lot by keeping the spine neutral.

Keeping your weight in check through proper diet is crucial if you cannot exercise, as extra abdominal weight puts direct pressure on the sciatic nerve. Keep checking your BP and health parameters regularly with your physician.

My brother used a firm wooden chair instead of sitting on soft sofas, as our elders always advised against bad sitting postures. It really helped align his spine and reduced his leg pain without any complex exercises.

Since you want to avoid exercises, focus on hot and cold therapy. Apply an ice pack on your lower back for 15 minutes to reduce inflammation, then switch to a warm heating pad to relax the tight glute muscles.

Honestly, who has the energy to exercise when your leg is shooting with pain and you haven't slept? I just use a good quality lumbar roll on my chair and lie down flat on a firm mattress whenever it acts up.
