Symptom(s) & the cause | discomfort on lower back, diagnosed spondilolithesis (slipped one vertebral foward) between L3&4 three years ago by GP, saw a number of physio, but did not really improve the condition. |
Examination | right sciatic pain present all the time when sitting down on a chair while interviewing, increases with Kemp testing towards right big toe, great discomfort, relatively Ok with range of motion of lower back.
Apperered with CT scan, which shows a mild spondilolithesis. found that pelvic is unlevel and twisted, leg length different (pictures below), muscles between right and left, front and back, upper body and lower body, all unbalanced.
 |
Treatment received | 1st treatment Tone all muscle inbalance and manipulate shortening muscles. Some muscles are extremely tight probably because of overused and a compensation of the injury. During the treatment, he started feeling "more blood flow to the area". which hasn't happened for more that 2 years. After 90 minutes, sciatic prblem cannot be felt at all and feels a lot better. The leg length is OK as the photo shown below.
 treatment continues |
