Top 8 Natural Remedies for Sciatica Pain
The sciatic nerve is one of the largest nerves in our body. It runs all the way down the lower spine over the buttock to both feet to provide movement, feeling, and strength in both legs.
Up to 40% of all people will get sciatica at some point in their lives. It is a condition that is often mistaken for lower back pain or leg cramps. But it is actually something that puts pressure or pinches the nerve and triggers the pain in the back or thigh to your legs.
