Lower Back Disorders; Disc Herniation, Lumbalgia, Sciatic Nerve Neuralgia, Post-Isometric Relaxation & Back Rehabilitative Exercises.
Sciatic nerve neuralgia is considered to be one of the most difficult abnormalities of the support and movement system. Clinical expressions of sciatic nerve neuralgia include sharp pain irradiating to the lower extremities which increases during any of the patient’s attempts to move and of course limited range of motion on all axes and planes. Usually, when a patient appears at the doctor’s office with such a difficult clinical picture, in addition to prescribing painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and/or utilizing injections, the doctor will usually refer the patient for radiological examination. Today, the most common radiological examinations are the MRI and/or CT scan. In many cases, MRI test detects bulging and/or herniation of discs. If symptoms are not alleviated in a period of a few weeks due to conservative methods of treatments (above mentioned oral or injected medication) consideration will be given to surgical intervention. The problem is that in many cases, this difficult neurological picture is not the result of the disc herniation, but is actually the result of piriformis muscle syndrome.
Anatomy of the Piriformis Muscles
The Piriformis muscle originates from the anterior surface of the sacrum and inserts into the greater trochanter. It shares the passage through the greater sciatic foramen with several important nervous and vascular structures including nerves which provide innervation to pelvic inner organs, the gluteals, and the lower extremities. The piriformis muscles can accumulate tension to the point that they will start compressing/ impinging sciatic nerve and awaking in some cases intolerable pain in the buttocks and lower back with irradiation to the extremities.
Sciatica nerve neuralgia can be the result of compression of the S1 spinal nerve as well as due to the compression of the sciatic nerve by over-tensed piriformis muscles. If patients with symptoms of sciatica have the ability to bend forward without awaking pain, most likely the sciatica neuralgia is the results of piriformis muscle syndrome.
The Causes for Accumulation of Tension in the Piriformis Muscles
1. Due to spondylosis, including herniation of disc, spinal nerves can be irritated (please do not confuse irritation of the spinal nerve with compression of the spinal nerve.) Irritation of the spinal nerves that provide innervation to the piriformis muscles (S1 spinal nerve) will cause a gradual accumulation of tension in these muscles, to the point that they will compress the sciatic nerve.
2. Physical overload of the muscles such as vigorous exercise, job performances that put too much static load on the piriformis muscles, hormone changes, exposure to toxins, physical and/or psychological trauma, etc.

This 3D medical animation depicts lumbar spinal fusion surgery, a surgical procedure performed on the spine to weld two or more vertebrae together using surgical hardware and bone graft material. Spinal fusions may be done to correct a number of conditions; a fractured vertebra, excessive motion between vertebra, spondylosis, spondylolisthesis, osteoarthritis, scoliosis or kyphosis and a bulging or herniated disc.
Lately I’ve been receiving a lot of emails from people who are curious about EPFX Quantum Biofeedback, as well as other services I offer. So, I thought I’d make a quick video to clarify a few things. 
Many people assume that one has to be hooked up to the EPFX Quantum Biofeedback device to have a reading, but that’s simply not the case! You can be anywhere in the world and have a session with me! I explain how this works under the FAQ section on my website- http://www.leijaturunen.com. I don’t have a long-distance phone plan, so I prefer skype sessions with my clients. If you’re unfamiliar with skype, don’t worry! It’s very easy to set up! As long as you have the internet, you can download skype! Woohoo! Phone consults work as well, but I prefer skype so we can see each other- It makes it feel more like a personal session, like you’re sitting in my comfo client chair in front of me in my home office! Teehee! Feel free to check out my website and playlist on youtube called “Quantum Biofeedback Information.” Don’t hesitate to email me with any questions you have and I will get back to you as soon as I can! Much love & light, Leija.
