Sciatica or lower back pains can at times become quite severe and intolerable. In order to combat them, knowing how they are actually caused can help a lot. Usually when you are on the heavier side, you become more prone to back pains. Thus try to keep your weight under control if you want to avoid such aches.

Lifting heavy weights can also be a major cause behind Sciatica. In our day to day life it sometimes becomes inevitable to carry heavy things like grocery bags and our furniture. But we may be pretty unaware of how it affects our back severely. Thus it is always recommended that you take help from others while doing such chores. Your incorrect sitting posture may also aggravate lower back pain. Try to avoid slouching and always sit straight to avoid unnecessary back aches.

Now that you are aware of the causes you can easily avoid them to combat back aches. But if you are already suffering from Sciatica, yoga can do wonders for your back. Also consult an expert orthopaedic for more details on medication.
