Sciatic Nerve Pain
62 year old female presents with severe sciatic nerve pain down the right leg to the calf. She explains that it is worse after long drives in the car which she frequently must do as the carer for her younger sibling.
Treatment: I began treatment with stage 1, focusing on assisting the hard-working muscles in her back, trapezius, neck and gluteus muscles. Fascia mobilisation techniques were also employed throughout the entire fascial train. Posture and movement patterns were assessed and corrected.
Results: Client reported that the sciatic nerve pain reduced from down to her calf to a containment in the hip area and was present far less often and with a 50% decrease in pain after just 3 sessions. She also reported that her mood had significantly improved since the treatment, so much so that she was able to halve the amount of prescription anti-depressant medication that she was taking, in consultation with her doctor. The client continues weekly treatments as part of her health care routine and improvements are made each week.
