Numbness is usually caused from a lack of blood supply to an area. Numbness can also be caused because of nerve damage. Numbness can also result from infection, inflammation, trauma, and other abnormal processes. Most cases of numbness are not due to life-threatening disorders, but it does occur with stroke patients and people with tumors. Numbness is also common in diabetics and people who suffer from multiple scleosis.
Numbness is often associated with or preceded by pain-like pins-and-needles, prickling, or burning sensations called paresthesias. Whereas numbness is a loss of sensation, paralysis involves a loss of movement, with or without the loss of sensation.
Numbness can also occur due to a compressed/trapped nerve in the lower back. For example, if your legs are numb because of a compressed nerve in the lumbar spine (lower back), you may also experience pain in the legs and back.
Because leg numbness can be a symptom of an underlying disease, disorder or condition, you should talk with your GP about any unusual sensations that last more than a few minutes.

Check here a very effective sciatica natural treatment http://cure-sciatica.info/
Normally, I would not answer a question like this as my expertise is generally in medication but I had severe sciatica while I was pregnant with my 3rd child (after having had twins) and I had sciatica so bad that I was finding it difficult to walk. I tried massage therapy and physical therapy and could not take medication
I went to the chiropractor and the pain was instantly relieved. My hips and lower back were out of alignment because I had carried twins the year before. On occasion a Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) can also work but they usually only work on one joint at a time - the chiropractor will do your whole back which works faster. Anyone who does not believe in chiropractors will tell you they are quacks - don't listen.
I don't necessarily believe that chiropractors can cure things like diabetes but they can definitely relieve some types of back pain especially if a pinched nerve is involved which is usually the cause of sciatica.
