Sciatic Nerve & Piriformis Syndrome Info for LMTs & Bodyworkers

Sciatic Nerve & Piriformis Syndrome:

  • Starts in the lower back, typically at L3
  • At each level of the lower spine a nerve root exits from the inside of the spinal canal, and each of these roots then come together to form the large sciatic nerve
  • The sciatic nerve runs from the lower back, through the buttock, and down the back of each leg
  • The sciatic nerve is the same size as your thumb
  • Researchers estimate sciatica will affect up to 43% of the population at some point of life

 

Sciatica is also known as Lumbar Radiculopathy

 

 

 

6 Common Causes of Sciatica

  1. Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
  1. Herniated Lumbar Disc
  1. Degenerative Disc Disease
  1. Isthmic Spondylolisthesis
  1. Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
  1. Piriformis Syndrome

Occurs when the piriformis muscle contracts/spasms and irritates/compresses the sciatic. 

Symptoms include low back tenderness and pain, accompanied by sciatica-like pain, numbness and weakness that runs down the back of the leg, calf and foot.

In many people, the sciatic nerve pierces the piriformis muscle, splits the piriformis muscle, or both, predisposing these individuals to piriformis syndrome in up to 22% of the population.

Spine-Health.com Recommends Deep Massage for Piriformis Syndrome*
“Manual release by a PT or other qualified specialist is thought to enhance healing by increasing blood flow to the area and decreasing muscle spasm.”

    Here is my testimony on how to get cured from HSV1&2. I got diagnose of HSV-2 and I have been taking pills to prevent an outbreak. I never stop searching for a cure because I strongly believe that there is something somewhere that can get rid of it completely and in February this year, I ran through some comments on a blog about Dr Osato herbal cure and a lot of people commented about him having the herbs that can get rid of herpes completely. I was excited and I contacted Dr Osato and ordered the cure for myself and he sent it to me through UPS and gave me instructions on how to take it which I rightly followed and behold I went for checkup after two weeks of taking the herbs and my result shows NEGATIVE. My doctor confirmed with me that I am totally clear from HSV-2. You can as well contact Dr Osato to get the herbal cure from him.

    I was once told that there was no cure for herpes, but today I’m living proof that with the right approach, it’s possible to permanently overcome this condition. I’m forever grateful to Dr. Utu, a true gift to humanity, who helped me find freedom from the shackles of herpes.

    For years, I have suffered in silence, trying countless conventional treatments that only provided temporary relief. But Dr. Utu’s Herpes Herbal Cleanser changed everything. With his guidance, I discovered the power of natural remedies and the importance of holistic well-being.

    Through his expert care, I learned to harness the healing properties of herbs and plants. Dr Utu Herpes Herbal Cleanser not only alleviated my symptoms but also permanently cured me and empowered me to take control of my health. I began to understand the intricate connection between my body, mind, and spirit.

    As I embarked on this journey, I noticed profound changes within myself. My energy levels increased, my skin cleared, and my overall well-being improved. But most importantly, I found peace and liberation from the grip of herpes.

    I’m not alone in my experience. Many others have benefited from Dr Utu Cure’s exceptional care and guidance. His dedication to helping others is a testament to his compassion and expertise.

    If you’re struggling with herpes or any other health challenge, I urge you to keep an open mind and explore alternative approaches. Don’t be discouraged by those who say there’s no cure – instead, seek out innovators like Dr Utu who dare to challenge conventional wisdom.

    Today, I’m proud to say that I’m living a life free from the constraints of herpes. I’m grateful for Dr Utu’s unwavering support and encouragement. His work is a beacon of hope for those seeking true healing and wellness.

    Don’t give up – there is hope. Seek out the wisdom and expertise of pioneers like Dr Utu, and discover the transformative power of nature’s healing gifts."
