Suggest Treatment For Sciatica
I have a curved spine at the lower end and therefore suffer from sciatica. also both legs are not the same length due to hip surgery. what kind of exercise can I do without hurting more. I was told no bending, no twisting and no lifting. that is almost impossible simple daily routines require bending and lifting.
