    Re: Sciatic Pain

    Hello folks,

    Let me thank all for your time.

    Firstly to the notice of smshaffe, i cud see where u r coming from. i did mentioned that i have cleared his hip and SI jts. He got negative hip scour and SI Shear. I can reproduce his symptoms by adjusting his lumbar spine, and switch off symptoms by easing movts of lumbar spine. i know u mean by easing hip and si joints, and to check if tat eases symptoms. but as i say, his lumbar flexion itself eases his symptoms. He was never able to touch his toes, for a long time( tight hamstring++++). I will add hip flexor stretches, if needed.

    If you look at him, he has sway back posture, there is no huge movt of lumbarspine on palpation, he also might be having some associated hip and SI stiffness, as said by sm shaffe. But i am trying to target the first tissue, which makes his symptoms, and also indeed to treat secondary impairments.

    To Hallamshire, his symptoms are easily brought by spine ext and rot, when he does service during golf( i feel doing a quadrant action of lumbar spine, is the culprit). How much can he sustain symptom free, by keeping his spine on flexion when playing golf. specifically during service actions of golf. He only had two episodes of sciatic pain. this second episode is worse.

    He is doing QL,piriformis stretches, pelvic tillts n gymball. He certainly feels an improvement, but no longlasting effect. He is labourer, not been off work so far. I agree with all you of compensatory impariments of hip and SI, but how can i ease his lumbar spine.

    Thanks
    Naveen
