Sciatic Pain Relieved With Accupressure

People suffer from sciatic pain, which is affecting their lower back.  If it is sciatic nerve which is causing pain, here is a method of relieving the pain by accupressure method. This I learnt from a book titled HEALTH IN YOUR HANDS vol.1 by DEVENDRA VORA.  See the above photographs.  The place where the blue tape is adhered is where the pressure is to be applied.  The patient will wince with pain if the above place is pressed, which confirms sciatic problem. Some times the pain will be only in one leg, and sometimes in both legs. If there is no pain in both legs, then the pain may not be sciatic pain 

Pressing should be done with the nail portion of the finger  perpendicularly pressing into the flesh at this point. 

Please see that your nails are well trimmed so they not cause a different pain. 

The entire area is to be pressed using a single finger or using all the four fingers while the thumb envelopes the bone in the front of the leg.

After every few say 5 pressing move the position of hand a few millimeters up or down so that entire area is covered.

The method is to press for two counts, leave for two counts and shift the position.  This should be continued for about 10 minutes and three times a day. 

Case 1.  My grandson when he was 2 years old (about 5 years back) was walking with back bent forward and moving slowly one day. My daughter explained that a day before he was complaining of pain and the doctor prescribed some pain killer.  The pain is still there and he is restless because he is not able to play.  I asked her to make him sit in her lap and checked both legs at the area shown above.  His left leg indicated no pain but his right leg showed pain.  He howled when I pressed a point there.  I observed by feel some knot like thing to touch when I pressed there.  I continued with lesser pressure first and increasing the pressure later.  After 15 minutes of treatment  I said I will do it again in the night.  But with in half an hour, the boy was playing and he did not need further treatment!

Case 2. Mrs K., who happens to be my brother's daughter in law was standing in a peculiar way when I visited her place in Hyderabad.  I asked her why she is standing like that.  She told she has low back pain since 6 months and the pain is not going away.  She can tolerate the pain only by standing like this slightly bent posture.  I told I want to check the sciatic point on her both legs.  To my surprise both legs showed pain.  I showed the place to my brother's son and showed him how to give treatment.  He gave treatment in this manner for two days and her pain was gone and  did not return.

case 3. Mrs K, of the above case had an aunt who was bed ridden for 6 months for pains in back.  Mrs k visited her and told her about the treatment she underwent and asked her to treat the points with somebody's help.  Within a week, the aunt thanked Mrs.K for the advise.  She is moving about freely in the house and attending her works normally. These are the three cases I treated so far using the acupressure method.  Since back pain is so common our friends in HWC can also check the place for pain and give advise.
