Sciatica treatment
Hi,
I have developed SCIATICA due to continuous works and improper posture. I am unable to sit currently and also feeling difficult to walk. I am taking ayurvedic therapy (massage) as recommended by doctor. (Ayurvedic doctor). Will massages alone cure sciatica or should i visit allopathy hospitals for detailed diagnosis?
