Everyone suffers from low back pain every now and then. But sometimes, low back pain is a persistent and debilitating condition that just does not respond to traditional treatments. What can you do?
Massage therapy proven to relieve back pain
In a recent study, researchers enrolled 401 patients with chronic low back pain with no identifiable reason for their pain. After 10 weeks of massage therapy sessions, two-thirds reported their back pain was significantly reduced or gone altogether! That’s amazing! And with no drugs, shots, or other temporary treatments that only mask the real problem for the pain. Read full details of the study here.

Sciatica refers to irritation of the sciatic nerve that arises from nerve roots in the lumbar spine. The most common cause of sciatic nerve irritation, or “true” sciatica is compression of one or more of its component nerve roots due to disc herniation or spinal degeneration in the lower lumbar region. Depending on the severity of the compression and/or inflammation of the sciatic nerve components, sciatica may extend into the buttock area, into the thigh, or sometimes all the way down the leg to the foot.
