What is a sciatica cushion?

Doctors say that patients with sciatica should use proper posture to ease and prevent sciatica pain, according to the NHS.

A sciatica cushion is specially designed to ease pressure across the backs of your legs when sitting. A sciatica cushion helps you maintain even pressure distribution and provide adequate support to ease pressure on your sciatic nerve.
