(4) Often this starts with just a simple exercise like hamstring stretching. A review of 344 randomized control trials that tested the effectiveness of hamstring stretching exercise found that it lessens pain intensity for low back pain, improves straight leg raise ability in patients with low back pain and radicular leg pain (sciatica), and enhances function for back pain patients of all sorts.
