IMPORTANT MESSAGE
On Sciatic Nerve Treatments:
-
Please note that results for Sciatic Nerve Treatment vary from patient to patient. No treatment and patient are alike, therefore results vary.
-
Sciatic Nerve Treatment might/usually requires more than one session, depending on the severity of the nerve
-
Sciatic Nerve Treatment is not a 1 time quick fix. Please understand that Sciatic Nerve doesn't just simply act up out of nowhere, it slowly builds up over time. It might take 30 days to months to if not longer for the person to realize/be diagnosed with Sciatic Nerve. Treatment sessions are recommended to fully stabilize the nerve and routine sessions are also recommended once the nerve is stabilized to ensure no further flareup.
-
Sciatic Nerve Treatment is unfortunately a painful session. It is painful, for the session consists of treating the Sciatic Nerve directly through your glutes (your butt area) with deep pressure/techniques. Unfortunately there is no other way to address the Nerve, other than the glute area. Once after completing a session, the pain level will rise (but this is NORMAL) and the area will be inflamed for up to 48 hours (this too is NORMAL). This is the body's healing mechanism. The reason why it hurts more is that I address the concern/issue at the root of the problem, which is an area that hasn't been addressed. So by addressing it, it flares up and hurts more, but again for no more than 48 hours. Once the allowed time has passed, the pain and inflammation have lessened and you will feel the difference.
SELF CARE
IS VITALLY IMPORTANT!!
FOR MAXIMUM results, it is vitally important to conduct self-care at home while in between your treatment sessions. Unfortunately, there is no cure for Sciatic Nerve, and 1 session a month will not give you the results that you are seeking. Depending on how bad the nerve pain is, depends on the treatment plan. BUT self-care is critical in order for maximum results. We can advise you on stretches that you can do at home and even show you some during your session time, but without self-care, the results may vary from little to none.
