Hallelujah and thank god that the truth around sciatica is now in prose.
I wonder if any medical professional will appreciate and acknowledge the root and relief from sciatic pain as much as we do. We can only hope and continue our amazing therapy journey.

A Poetic Prayer for Piriformis -

ODE TO PIRIFORMIS

(from Latin piriformis = "pear shaped")

Like a pear in underwear,
I run from spine to thigh.
Wondrous sacrum to greater trochanter go I.
Normally, no one knows I’m there.

From the sacral plexus’ braid
Nerves come and make my life exciting -
Don’t be afraid,
There’s no pain I’m inviting.

But once in a great while
When nerves running around, above or below me
Cry out, “Sciatica!” It’s wild!
Like they were imprisoned in Attica!

Then cry my rotating brethren,
“Free the prisoners of the piriformis!
Give us back our mild life!”
To all else their cries deafen.

Until, with God’s grace and intelligent touch,
It doesn’t take much -
I return to Eden and my secret life.
Aligning pelvis and thigh, no more strife.

Again I am a silent partner
to Gluteus Maximus and Obturator
and those other deep ones who rotate the world through the thigh
Oh my Oh my go I
Silent, yet beautiful - like a pear in underwear.

Are you looking for a treatment that targets your individual concern?
After almost 31 years in my profession there are many soft tissue diagnoses that I have successfully treated from migraines to sciatica. Most soft tissue ailments respond very quickly to increased blood flow through these tissues when the correct amount of pressure is put on to the trigger points that are usually located where the pain is most severe. My approach to pain relief is very simple and uncomplicated.
