Massage Therapy for slipped disk/sdiatic nerve?

[Guest guest]

I went to a Chiropractor once and would like to know of my

alternatives.

 

Can a Masage Therapist work a slipped disk back into place?

 

Thanks, SC

MT can work with soft tissues, muscle, etc. that pull on and distort disc

alignment. Very often during a MT session, vertebrae wiill self-correct when

the muscles around them begin to relax.

Hi,

My wife had sciatic nerve problem and it was so severe that she was

advised to go for surgery after X-ray but I started massaging myself

regularly using good quantity of warm oil and making sure that gentle

massage and pressure was applied at all painful areas going right upto

the back of the heel. I can assure you that massage works for sciatica

though I can't say any thing about slipped disc. However, when the

patient improves it is also necessary to go for light weight exercises

as they make the back stronger. One more point is that when I went to

professional massagers and chiropractors in the initial stages it didn't

help for few months as they were not interactive or responsive to my

wife's feedback and that is why I decided to do it myself. You start

seeing results in two weeks of good massage.

Regards,

Kishore

What you report is true to my experience working with clients with sciatica.

True sciatica is nerve pressure from disc problems. Even so, aleviatinbg the

muscle tension around those discs can make a difference.

 

There may be times when surgery is the last resort, but that's what it would be

for me with back pain--after trying everything else that dealt with structure

and soft tissue first.

Good Eveniong Kish-

95 % of sciatica is caused by the piroformis muscle in the buttock getting

inflamed and hardened. If your wife were laying on her stomach raise the

affected foot so that hte shin is 90° to the bed and have her push her ankle

into your hand outward towards the edge of the bed against resistance for 6-9

secs 6-10 times and this will give unbelievable relief. In His Hands

Massage-Hank

Thank you for sharing this with me!

I'm not sure I can reach places certain areas of my back, without

injuring myself (although it would be worth sending into " funniest

home videos " ). I'm guessing that a combination of the two (self-

massaging & neuromuscular or deep tissue massage) will work wonders.

 

I am so grateful for finding this group!

Good for you Kishore!

I love self-help stories.

One person I know cured his

pregnant wife's severe varicose veins

with daily foot reflexology.
