Three factors related to sciatica and chronic lower back pain are evaluated with muscle testing of the anterior deltoid muscles combined with therapy localization of the upper and lower inguinal ligament.
1- To check for body’s baseline pelvic alignment.
2-To check the integrity of the anterior versus posterior regions of the sacro-iliac joint.
3-To check for abnormal tension along the upper and lower aspects of the inguinal ligament [musculoskeletal balance of the pelvis].
4-To check for leg length discrepancy; with the apparent short leg indicating the side of pelvic alignment deviation from normal and side of sciatica.
If the test muscle weakens in any of these three tests, a combination of chiropractic and acupuncture care to correct the underlying problems is appropriate and necessary until these chronic issues are competently resolved within two to three weeks.
