@178anatomy: 🔥 WHY YOUR SCIATICA GETS WORSE WHEN YOU SIT If your sciatica worsens when sitting, it’s often due to mechanical pressure—not just muscle tightness. Sitting rotates the pelvis backward and reduces the natural lumbar curve, which can increase disc loading around L4-L5 and L5-S1, where the nerve roots that contribute to the sciatic nerve emerge. This may irritate the nerve and trigger pain, tingling, or burning down the leg. Sitting is not always complete rest for the spine—it can create sustained loading that may increase nerve sensitivity over time. The real goal is improving lumbar movement, pelvic control, and reducing excessive disc stress through regular movement—not simply avoiding sitting.#anatomy #sciatic #lowerbackpain
