Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In Sciatica
Question: Severe pain in sciatica. Went to physical therapist for 6 weeks and pain was gone. I am very active, play sports 2-3 times a week and spend a lot of time walking for my job. Felt great after seeing therapist but i just got back into running which i love to do and pain is slowly coming back. More of a tingling sensation near tailbone and in buttocks. Should I see a chiropractor for hip alignment or can I never run again?
