How Health Wise Chiropractic can help with Lumbar Disc Herniation
Quick anatomy- less than 1% of patients will have serious radiculopathy. The more pain in the lower extremity the more likely it is lumbosacral radiculopathy.
Pain is usually nonsudden and made worse by coughing, sneezing
Relief is lumbar extension
Where the pain is down the leg is an indication of where the problem is.
L4 is the medial knee, medial shin, and medial foot
L5 is the lateral shin and the big toe
S1 is the lateral sole of the foot and little toe
S2 is the back of the leg and bottom of the gluteals
