Burning pain down the back of your leg. An ache in the hamstring or hip that will not quit. Numbness, tingling, or that jolt when you bend over or stand up out of a chair.

Avoiding movement is not a treatment plan. And your only options are not surgery, pills, or whatever the internet turned up at 2am. There is a third path: understand what is actually irritating the nerve, then treat it with intention.

Dr. Michael Derry is a board-certified orthopedic physical therapist who was offered spinal surgery for his own severe sciatica at 25, and refused. He recovered naturally, and has spent over a decade using those same methods with patients. This free eBook is that approach, written down.
