Sciatica
Sciatica is the term that describes symptoms of pain that begins in the lower back and extends down through your butt, thigh, and sometimes as far as your foot.
Mostly likely, that tingling or painful sensation going down your leg is caused upstream in your spine… such as:
- A disc irritating, compressing or pinching a nerve…
- A facet joint at the back of a vertebra which is out of alignment…
- A strained back muscle spasming and painfully squeezing a nearby nerve or nerve sheathe…
Multiply these issues by the number of vertebrae and muscles in the back and…
You can appreciate how much work it can be to accurately diagnose the root problem. Even with technology like MRIs.
That’s why I prefer to take a more self-directed, holistic approach to fixing sciatica.
So… How Do We Fix the Pain and Numbness?
Recently, a successful yoga instructor came to my clinic and…
Even after decades of yoga, for some reason, she still suffered with sciatica.
Actually, I was rather shocked.
If a 45-year old, healthy yoga instructor can be dealt a crippling back pain blow…
What does this say about the rest of us?
Here’s Marie’s inspiring story in her own words.
I think it’ll inspire hope if you’re also suffering…
How did we help Marie ? Or maybe more aptly, how did Marie help herself?
She did 8 specific treatments in the clinic and home care movements…
These 8 movements are totally unlike “the sheets” of exercises you get from chiropractors or doctors.
Instead, we “wake up” certain muscles and restore muscle balance. That’s key.
Then in certain areas of her back, we jump-started pathways so vital oxygen and nutrition could get in and help her heal.
That’s the holistic way to relieve and remove sciatica.
As you can expect, everyone’s results vary, based on many factors.
But in Marie’s case, it took just two 30-minute sessions.
Two 30-minute sessions and she was completely out of pain.
Yes, there are ways to get out of pain. They don’t require medication, surgery or injections.
You just have to restore your body’s natural functional movement and muscle balance and allow it to heal naturally.
