Sciatica can be very frustrating & significantly decrease the quality of your life. But it is something that can be treated and eliminated from your life.

Your sciatica pain can affect the lower back, bottom, backs of legs, feet and toes.

Symptoms can vary from a stabbing, burning or shooting sensation. You may experience some pins and needles down your bottom, into the back of your legs or feet along with numbness and muscle weakness.

Sciatica is very common and seen in many people. Symptoms can come and go as they please, and pain may range in severity.
