Hey Daniel2,
I was actually arguing against a chiropractor. It sounds like the chiropractor somehow irritated your sciatic nerve. This branches from your lower back and you can feel pain anywhere along the nerve pathway down your buttocks (I'm British, I can't bring myself to say butt!) back of thigh and calf. Give that video a go. It may not be for you but it may be a game changer. Please report back your experience. Best wishes, Atty |

The 2 chiros I went to for other issues were very helpful..
one used many other modalities besides adjusting, and he was very gentle/careful with adjustments also.. He used - IF stim (much better than TENS) Low level laser (also called cold or soft laser) great for specific pain areas Ultra sound Also did some manual trigger point release The other used KT (kinesio) tape (also other similar products) kinesio tape - Google Search After I found how well it worked I googled of course & bought my own and have used it many times for shoulder, knee & back pain.. That's the colorful tape you see on many athletes..so if it works for them in competition... Tons of videos on how to apply or find a pro to apply it the first few times... If any provider is not helping much , keep looking for better ones.. |

I think these protocols are designed for people without nerve issues (like allodynia for example), so that if its too painful for you don't do it. But if you find you can do it and that it helps continue. You know your own body best. I'm not actually sure about frequency, I use a foam roller every day, but sometimes my thighs or calves are too sensitive so I leave it for a few days and concentrate on my back. Best wishes, Atty |
