Self-Test
Self-Test for Sciatica
for SCIATICA
1. Sitting on a chair, look down.
2. Straighten one leg, with toes in the air.
3. Repeat for the other side.
What it means: If your leg with pain, numbness or tingling
does not go up as high as the other leg, you likely have
sciatica.
Your next step is to see what is causing the pressure on
your sciatic nerve. We can help you with that! Call us to
schedule an appointment.
