How Can Pain In The Lower Back And Hips Be Treated?

I have lower back and hip pain. I have been to the chiropractor several times this past year and still have the pain. My wife is a physical therapists and thinks it might be Sciatica. I have been doing some stretches but only obtain temporary relief.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yes, it may be sciatica. You should get an X-ray of lumbar spine done. Maintain proper posture while sitting, standing and sleeping. Sleep on hard bed. You may take analgesic as tablet aceclofenic and muscle relaxant as thiocolchicoside or tizanidine. As these are prescription drugs please contact your local doctor he will prescribe these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
