Sciatica is a back condition caused by a compressed sciatic nerve and a herniated or slipped disc. Compressed nerves happen when you exert too much energy on your lower back by participating in activities that require a lot of lifting or falling unexpectedly.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay.
