This is what you need to know about sciatica nerve pain: 'Complaints build up gradually'

What should you do if you experience complaints? And more importantly: what can you do to prevent this? “People often say: something went wrong when I picked up a piece of paper from the ground or lifted a flower pot, but that is often the straw that breaks the camel's back,” says chiropractor Sten Hofstad.
