Back Pain, Neck Pain and Sciatica
One of the most common medical problems of all, back pain affects

sciatica are closely related, often occurring at the same time as back
pain – and for the same reason.
Depending on the underlying condition and cause, the pain may
subside quickly or become chronic, lasting for months or years
without lasting relief. Numerous conditions associated with back,
neck or sciatica pain include:

that pattern of chronic pain by shutting down the chronic
inflammation. Once inflammation is in check, other proteolytic
enzymes start breaking down the restrictive fibrin protein causing
continued restrictions and scar tissue.
