Wanted to know if anyone could give their experience on using muscle tapes and sciatic pain? I have used it in my pregnancies but now it seems my sciatica pain has returned. Chiro massages are great but not feasible on a regular basis. I use SpiderTech's muscle tapes and they have been helpful in relieving the pain.
