I second the chiro suggestion - I go every 2 weeks (thank goodness for private health) and it's kept me moving a lot better overall. I also find that gentle swimming and walking in at least waist deep water helps a fair bit too.

I've been having heaps of siatic pain with this pregnancy since early on
I have short hot showers and that helps, laying down for an hour or so (which is hard with a 10mth old.
I have also consulted with and Osteopath and he said he could help me and he wouldn't crack my back just manipulate it
So u have options out there. I was told deep heat and tiger balm and stuff like that isn't the best idea when pregnant but thats just the advice I got given maybe ask ur dr or midwife on ur next appt

I have ongoing sciatica (not PG) and I swear by a cream called fysiocream. And stretching. I LOVE my clinical pilates. You can also try sitting/laying on a tennis ball; position it in the affected spot - helps immensely!
HotI, if you need someone, I have a GREAT physio who combines accupuncture with treatment. I have it every session. He's in Briar Hill/Montmorency.
