Lower Back Pain
Sciatica is the name given to a back pain problem that involves the sciatic nerve. The pain normally travels down the leg and in severe cases can make it impossible to put weight on that leg. Sciatica can also just involve cases where the pain is felt in the buttock parts of the leg or foot.

 Most people can get relief from sciatica or a short term cure by lying down and taking the gravity pressure off their body but is some cases it is very difficult to find a position that is comfortable due to the pressure from a disc bulge or disc herniation that has built up on the sciatic nerve in the lower back area.

Many therapists blame the Piriformis muscle (or piriformis syndrome) for sciatica  but in my experience it is rarely ever the cause and treating the piriformis muscle will not cure sciatica or even provide sciatica relief in many cases. The reality is the piriformis muscle tightens up because the pelvis is not balanced. Dealing with the piriformis muscle is only secondary to finding the real cause of the back pain or sciatica.

Generally, the body’s overall mechanics has a lot to do with sciatica meaning that whenever a  person sits or stands, the muscle imbalances in their body causes a disc bulge, disc herniation or disc prolapse. This increases the pressure onto the sciatic nerve where it exits around the L4, L5 or S1 region of the spine. To get sciatica relief this is what has to be treated with special exercises or therapy

There are key treatment areas to work on in the body to provide sciatica relief but generally an overall, full body approach is needed to rebalance the muscle system and release the pressure from the disc bulge or disc herniation.
Exercises and stretching that is often given to provide sciatica relief invariably irritates the problem because the tight contracted muscles that set up muscle imbalances do not loosen when stretched. They often only tighten further when treated with exercise due to the lack of circulation getting to the muscle fibres.

The full body, hands on approach taken by an SLM trained therapist can be a very successful treatment at providing relief for a disc bulge, disc herniation or disc prolapse that causes sciatica or sciatic nerve pain

The book and video or DVD in the back pain and sciatica self treatment program provides many ways of getting relief by helping yourself or assisting the work being done by the therapist who is providing your sciatica treatment. It help ensure you get faster relief from the nerve pain

I would strongly recommend a passive approach, at least initially, as the best way to get relief from sciatica. Treating it quickly provides the best relief and helps avoid the sciatic pain getting so bad that surgery becomes an emergency option.

Treatments that focus on one just a part of the body expecting to give sciatica relief do nothing for the overall imbalances and have little lasting effect on sciatic nerve pain. This is perhaps why many treatments fail to provide a solution for chronic sciatica pain.

People often end up having unnecessary surgery to release the pressure from disc bulges that irritate the sciatic nerve but don’t deal with the muscle imbalances that are causing that pressure. After treating back pain and sciatica for over 22 years I have found this is by far the best way to get sciatica relief. Treating just the symptom is like just replacing a tyre on your car that is scrubbed on one side without doing a wheel alignment. The new tyre would be under the same pressure and end up being worn out the same way.

Similarly this is why most sciatica treatments doesn’t provide long term relief and the sciatic pain just returns at some point down the track.
