DOWNLOAD EBOOKSciatica Nerve Pain is a debilitating condition that can make a person feel helpless. This excruciating pain extending from a person's lower back and sometimes as far down as their foot can be life changing. Many people are affected by Sciatica and feel as if nothing but surgery can help them. In my experience as a board certified Doctor of Physical Therapy, I have seen that there is a lot of misinformation out there regarding this condition. Therefore, my goal with this publication is to educate people who are suffering from Sciatica and help them get their normal lives back. Most often, people can be helped tremendously with conservative treatments however they are unsure of what to do to accomplish this. The treatments that I have included are clinically proven in the research community and in my own personal clinical experience. I describe these treatments in detail and show their appropriate progressions. I also list my free supplemental videos for the exercises talked about on my YouTube Channel: Physical Therapy 101. The videos not only show the exercises but show how to correctly perform them which is essential to recovery.Sciatica Nerve Pain does not have to be debilitating, it can be treated effectively with conservative management. With correct treatment, people can return to their daily lives without being affected by this condition.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAre you one of the millions of people who suffer from low back pain? While it is important that patients with low back pain educate themselves about the lower back, the information available is often more confusing than it is helpful. A single source of information should not be taken as the only truth, as this can lead to misconceptions and misunderstandings in the diagnosis and treatment of low back pain. According to author Mario A. Gutierrez, MD, not all patients with low back pain are the same, and not all back conditions have a common cause. Dr. Gutierrez draws on more than twenty years of neurosurgery experience and direct patient contact to guide back pain sufferers in their quest for reliable information and diagnosis with topics such as: Causes of low back pain Current treatments for low back pain Low back surgery options Treatment myths Rehabilitation Health insurance/disability Prevention Whether you're a patient seeking answers, an aspiring medical professional, or a practicing physician, Understanding Low Back Pain is a must-have reference, complete with medical terminology, a short medical glossary, and frequently used medical abbreviations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNeuroKinetic Therapy is based on the premise that when an injury has occurred, certain muscles shut down or become inhibited, forcing other muscles to become overworked. This compensation pattern can create pain or tightness. By applying light pressure that the client then resists, the practitioner can evaluate the strength or weakness of each muscle, revealing the sources of injury and retraining the client’s body to remove the compensation patterns—reprogramming the body at the neural level.This easy-to-follow practitioner’s manual presents a series of muscle tests specially designed to uncover and resolve compensation patterns in the body. Author David Weinstock begins by explaining how this approach stimulates the body and mind to resolve pain. Organized anatomically, each section of the book includes clear photographs demonstrating correct positioning of the muscle accompanied by concise explanations and instructions. Labeled anatomical illustrations appear at the end of each section showing the relationships between the muscles and muscle groups. This essential resource is especially useful for physical therapists, chiropractors, orthopedists, and massage therapists looking for new ways to treat underlying causes of pain.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLow back pain is described as a very common condition that tends to affect about 70% of the population at some point in time with varying degrees of symptom severity. Although definitions vary, sciatic pain is generally defined as back-related pain radiating to the leg (normally below the knee and into the foot and toes) and is one of the commonest variations of low back pain. Patients with sciatica typically experience a more persistent and severe type of pain, a less favorable outcome, consume more healthcare resources and have more prolonged disability and absence from work than those with low back pain alone. Managing Sciatica and Radiculopathies in Primary Care Practice provides a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the subject and key information for primary care practitioners about low back pain in patients, including definitions and causes, current management approaches, diagnostic and treatment algorithms, as well as clinical practice guidelines.
