Do you ever find yourself dealing with lower back or leg pain that tingles, goes numb and is just outright annoying? You might be dealing with sciatica.

Sciatic pain happens when our sciatic nerve becomes pinched, irritated or inflamed. Sometimes, a slipped or herniated disc can be the culprit. Located in the lower back, the sciatic nerve runs down the leg, which can make the entire area painful during a flareup.

You might find relief with over the counter pain relievers or alternating hot and cold therapy, but that won’t correct the issue at its source.
