Male R. C., 40 year old – Sciatica
A patient was presented with the exacerbated chronic lower back pain in the Sacral region with irradiation to the back of the left leg, producing a strong pain throbbing and burning behind the knee. Pain was aggravated when bending forward or in reaching out position.
In his history he had a back condition from birth and later had an accident that resulted in fracture of the lumbar vertebrae. From time to time he suffered with typical sciatica pain. This time he has been suffering for about two weeks.
His MRI two months prior to this aggravation showed degeneration of L1, disc degeneration, and protrusion of the disc at the S1 level.
He was prescribed strong non-steroid pain medication that made him feel drowsy, but did not provide a full pain relief. Seeking resolution for his pain he decided to try InterX therapy.
The first treatment he felt the pain subside, but pain relief didn’t last and the pain reoccurred after a few hours.
The second treatment although pain temporarily reduced, later he felt worse. From that point and onwards he used the Personal InterX device to sustain pain relief. He had to go abroad and took his personal InterX device with the dual flex array for every day treatment protocol that I supplied him with.
Treatment was aimed at L1, S1/S2, Scan the whole Lumbar – Sacral zone, dermatomes L1 / L2 and L4, L5, S1 – S3, Trigeminal points, Flexible array to Lumbar, left buttock, right buttock, left back of the knee.
After two and a half weeks use, he reported no pain, no discomfort, he stopped taking pain medication and started with the core exercise program to stabilise the lumbar spine.
Advice to limit driving, prolong sitting, rest, good nutrition, and gentle stretching exercises.
Six months follow up confirmed that the patient still did not have sciatica pain, actively working and travelling.
