Video Viewer’s Comment:
I suffered from sciatic nerve pain for years until a chiropractor noticed my left hip was lower than my right and adjusted me accordingly. Which worked for a while. The pain came back and i accidentally discovered that my left leg was slightly shorter than my right. I started using an insole in all my left shoes and boots and the problem completely cleared up and stayed that way. No more chiropractor visits in 20 yrs.
Basically I got lucky and stumbled onto a “cure”. Hope you find a solution to your problem.
