This is a very common problem that I have come across many times in my practice and in every case that I can think of, the condition has been relieved by treating the lumbar spine with osteopathic techniques.

I have not found that it has been connected with a heart or hormonal condition as many people seem to think.
If you happen to be overweight, this would increase pressure on the lumbar area, as pressure would be increased on nerves in that part of the spine.
It may take several osteopathic treatments to fully correct, but improvement should be immediate.

In many cases treatment can be improved by taking vitamin B complex and in
some cases extra vitamin B6 and B12.

Magnesium may well be also indicated if the body is very tense.
