Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 This is probably true in some cases but not all. I had sciatica and it was found that my tailbone was twisted in some way and some other parts were off and that was pressing on the nerves. The result of a car accident a couple of years before, and the bike riding I was doing then triggered it all. The worst pain ever. I couldn't hardly walk, stand, sit, lay down or anything. With a few chiropractic treatments and 2 acupuncture treatments, I've been great for 3 years now. Cathy herbal remedies, " Ian Shillington N.D.

I had sciatica several years ago and my Chiro got rid of it for me also in just a few treatments also. Thanks for all the help:) Pearl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2001 Report Share Posted July 12, 2001 Dear Pearl, Don't know if anyone else has answered you on this one, but your best bet is the intestinal cleanses. I used to have sciatica myself to a "lesser" degree until I started cleansing. Never had it since. Love, Doc Ian "Doc" Shillington N.D.505-772-5889Dr.IanShillington I am experiencing a great deal of pain from sciatica. I have been to aChiropractor and now I have started taking Boswellan. I am using castorpacks also. Does anyone know of anything else that I can do? We did agreat deal of walking this past week and it has gotten much worse. I amin so much pain all the way down into my knee at times I can't bear it!Any help or advice would be much appreciated:)Pearl (NY) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2001 Report Share Posted July 12, 2001 Gadzooks! I need to start answering my stale dated comms in reverse order. And to think that Valorie is using my e-mail account to answer up ;o) Oh well - the advice is excellent (lol). Much love, Doc Ian "Doc" Shillington N.D.505-772-5889Dr.IanShillington Dear Ian, Just wanted to add my two cents worth on Sciatica. Interstinglyenough - my hubby has been having leg pains recently - and during theColon and Kidney Cleanse there were a couple of days when he did nottake the No 1's...../ You guessed it - those were the days he had painsin his legs!!! Upon having bowel movements (and my watching more carefully that hetook No 1's (men!) - they went. NOw that we have finished the Colon andKidney cleanse he has lost the uncomfortable feeling he had in his lowerback.... ................This was interesting considering your post onSciatica.............love Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
