Simple, comfortable and clean enough to use at home |
The sciatic nerve, the longest and widest nerve in the human body, arises from the lower spine and is often implicated in low back pain. The path of pain follows the route of the nerve itself: from the sacrum to the posterior hip and down the back of the leg to the knee (stretching the nerve, straightening the knee, bending at the hip).
Sciatic nerve pain often occurs suddenly and is related to a particular movement, though sometimes the pain can arise with apparently no cause.
Is there a fast and lasting solution for sciatic pain?
Our fangocur Fango Sheets are the perfect way to treat sciatica. Our patented application method (fango healing clay in ready-to-use sheets) makes it possible to simply, comfortably and cleanly use this effective remedy at home. You'll also benefit from the well-known healing power of our healing clay.
Effects of the fangocur Healing Clay Pack (Fango Sheets)
During acute phases of sciatica, heat therapy works wonders. Using the Fango Sheets from fangocur, an optimal heat treatment is easy – the clay is formed into a compressed sheet which holds heat and also conducts heat extremely well. That means that Fango sheets not only stay warm longer, they're also a very effective way to warm the tissue. The soothing therapy can thus be longer and so the heat can penetrate more deeply and evenly – connective tissue, muscle and nerves all benefit from this heat therapy.
The heat therapy along with the unique ingredients of the healing clay act to increase circulation and relax the muscle tissue. The metabolism of the tissue overall is also improved, reducing or eliminating as well as preventing inflammation. The sciatic nerve can thus return to normal and healthy function, free of pain.

As the Fango Sheet is such an excellent heat conductor (due to the patented method for forming the sheets), it penetrates deeply to warm the tissue in the painful area.

The clay pack is more than just a heat therapy. The unique ingredients such as sulphur, electrolytes, minerals and trace elements are also very beneficial. This special volcanic healing clay is also an important part of the treatment.

Causes for Sciatica
There are various causes for sciatic pain. The most common are: - muscular tension
- nerve inflammation and other inflammatory processes
- degeneration of one or more vertebra
- irritation of the sciatic nerve due to improper movement
Fango Sheets are an appropriate and effective way to treat sciatic pain for any of the reasons listed above. They provide fast and lasting relief from the back and leg pain.
Can sciatica be prevented?
Physical activity (e.g. walking, hiking, swimming, bicycling, dancing, Nordic walking) and strengthening of the postural muscles are the best ways to prevent sciatic nerve problems. Using the Fango Sheets every two months is also a beneficial way to avoid future sciatic pain.
What can one do to treat sciatica? - Regularly treatment by applying heat (Fango Sheets from fangocur are optimal) leads to resolution of sciatic pain in 90% of cases.
- Slowly improving strength via physiotherapy as well as chiropractic treatment are highly recommended in the treatment of sciatica.
- Some find complementary therapies such as acupuncture or electrotherapy to be helpful.
- Pain relieving medications can positively influence the healing process.
- If the nerve condition becomes very bad, preventing normal walking or standing, surgery may be advisable. This is similar to the treatment of cauda equina syndrome. The operation relieves the pressure on the affected nerve – this can prevent permanent damage to the nerve. The follow-up medication used in this type of treatment is similar to that used for prolapsed disc.
- If the sciatic pain becomes chronic, psychological stress can also play a role.
- Regularly use the Fango Sheets as a preventative measure. It's provides beneficial health effects even when you are free of pain.
The healing effectiveness of fangocur healing clay has been confirmed by medical/balneological research conducted by the Department of Pharmacodynamics and Toxicology at the University of Graz, 1978.
