  hello , i have a nerve sciatic pain , which specialist should i contact please ?

  • The symptoms of sciatica occur when there is irritation along the path of the sciatic nerve.
    Herniated disc, sacroiliac, lumbar vertebra, piriformis, gluteal and hamstring muscles are potential causes of this sciatica with painful symptoms localizing in the lower back, buttock, knee and even the foot. Myofascial and joint work must be carried out depending on the location of compression of the sciatic nerve.

• General topics
  Hi, I have a small Hernia (L5-S1) which pushes on the sciatic nerve. The pain is now extended to the knee/calf/foot. Which is the specialist I should get in contact with?

  • Bonjour,
    
    Une session chez l'ostéopathe va permettre de mettre en évidence une éventuelle douleur d'origine nerveuse par des tests de reproduction de la douleur type sciatique (Lasègue, Slump Test) ainsi que des tests neurologiques de réflexe, force et sensibilité. Une fois ceux-ci écartés, nous pouvons travailler main dans la main afin de soulager vos douleurs car bien souvent c'est pas l'hernie qui vous fait mal mais bel et bien la contracture musculaire ainsi que l'inflammation localisée d'un nerf comprimé qui vous fait mal.
    
    Des techniques myofascia...les ainsi que le cupping therapy et le dry-needling aux endroits clés (la région lombo-sacrée et fessière) peuvent vous soulager.
    
    Mon but c'est qu'après une voire deux séances on voit une amélioration sinon je recommanderai de faire une imagerie médicale type IRM. Read more

• Knee pain
  Hi, I think I sprained my left knee. So, I got a knee support from the pharmacy to support recovery. As a self-diagnosis, I have no problems walking, the inner side ligaments seem to be healing better, but even after 8 weeks, the knee still feel sore. I can swim, but not really run and certainly not do any contact sports. It's probably best to finally see a general doctor. After seeing a general doctor, in case it is necessary, what could be the possible next steps to investigate what is wrong with the knee?

  • Pain on contraction or stretching, elongation, tear, sensitivity to palpation, limiting contracture, muscle injuries can be diverse and varied with different degrees of injury. An evaluation of your muscle injury and an individualized treatment plan will be developed for optimal recovery. Therapeutic techniques used such as fascial relaxation with dry-needling and cupping promote blood circulation and tissue healing in order to restore musculoskeletal balance.
