How can you tell the difference between sacroiliac pain and sciatica?
Thru bony analysis and soft tissue assessment. A diagnostic pressure placed upon the piriformis muscle where the sciatic nerve exits will give you the simplest method to evaluate true sciatica. Radicular pain pattern for a sciatic nerve problem will send pain down the back of the leg towards the knee or down to the ankle-foot. There is no replacement for physical examination, palpation of the bone and its surrounding soft tissue structures. Radiographic examination and specific history are also required to develop a specific individualized treatment plan, which may differ from individual to individual. READ MORE
I have a sharp lower back pain?
You have a pinched nerve in your lower back, due to muscular contractions, causing pulling off the bone into the nerve root. This usually occurs at the L-5 neurological level. You have developed sciatica because of the L-5 neural impingement, which manifests itself where the nerve exits in the middle of the butt muscle with pain radiating to the back of the knee. This situation can be helped with connective tissue manipulation, bony analysis to determine the spacial relationship between the bone and nerve root, and direction of impingement, which will determine the direction of specific treatment. Naprapathic Medicine has been highly successful with this type of analysis and treatment. READ MORE

Any discipline that uses specific palpation evaluation, orthopedic testing, neurological assessment, and radiographic testing can better treat shoulder pain and disability. Although, it depends on the magnitude of ther problem. READ MORE
