Like most things in life, inflammation can be good and bad.

On the one hand, inflammation helps your body defend itself from infection and injury.

On the other hand, chronic inflammation can lead to weight gain and can be a contributing factor in many diseases.

Inflammation is the reaction of your immune system to irritation, injury, or infection.

It's a normal response and a natural part of healing.

The key is to not let chronic inflammation take a toll on your body and your health.

Following an anti-inflammatory diet is a great way to counter some of the chronic inflammation that can stem from a not-so-healthy lifestyle.

A proper diet along with regular chiropractic care can greatly improve your health.

If you feel like chronic inflammation is starting to take a toll on your health, the foods we talk about below are all nutritious and will fit perfectly into an anti-inflammatory diet.

Sciatica is the name given to pain caused by the irritation of the sciatic nerve.

Anything that irritates this nerve can cause pain, ranging from mild to severe.

Sciatica is usually caused by a compressed nerve in the lower spine.

Sciatica is often confused with general back pain, but sciatica isn't limited to just the back.

The sciatic nerve is the longest and widest nerve in the entire human body, running from the lower back, through the buttocks, and down the legs, ending just below the knee.

The nerve controls several muscles in the lower legs and supplies sensation to the skin of the foot and the majority of your lower leg.

Sciatica is not a condition, but rather a symptom of another problem involving the sciatic nerve.

Experts estimate that up to 40% of people will experience sciatica at least once in their life.

Of so many people are at risk of experiencing sciatica, what are the best treatment options?

One of the most effective treatments is from a chiropractor.
