Any kind of back problem (minor/major) could be easily detected by observing pain and/or tenderness on points (9 and/or 16) on back of palm(s) and also on sciatic nerve points on the legs.
Stiff back/Backache
If there is a pain on point no. 9 on the back of the palm(s), then back pain is related to Spinal Disc and it could be cured by pressing point number 9 for 4-5 minutes. Even in one sitting one can feel the difference. This pressing can be done 3 times a day for 4-5 minutes each time.
Sciatic Nerve Problems (Pain in Hips, Thighs, Legs, and Lower Back/Lumbar)
It is observed that due to unexpected jerks and lifting of heavy objects, cold, wearing of high heeled shoes etc. the sciatic nerve gets damaged, causing pain in the legs from waist to toes, knees, lower lumbar etc.
The problem of sciatic nerve could be detected by the presence of pain/tenderness on point number 16 on the back of palm(s) and also on the Sciatic Nerve point on the legs. In addition if there is also pain/tenderness on point number 9 then some vertebrae is also damaged; but the absence of pain on point number 9 indicates that there is no damage to vertebrae.
The problem of sciatic nerve can be corrected by pressing the point number 16 on the back of palm and on the points of sciatic nerve in the legs for about 5-6 minutes each. This process can be repeated 3 times a day. Most of the patients need only 4 sittings.
Herniated/Bulging/Slipped Disc, Spondylitis
It is possible due to several reasons, like falling down, sever jerk, faulty way of sitting etc. any of the vertebrae might have pinched into the spinal cord thereby causing inflammation of sciatic nerve and causing serious problems. Or sometimes swollen sciatic nerve can also cause disc to move, split, or rupture. The severe pain in back spreads to the legs through the sciatic nerve and the patient finds difficulty in walking. In such cases, the patient has to wear collar or waist band, lie down for a long time in a sandbox, keep hanging heavy weights on the legs.
In all such cases, the following treatment may be tried before going for an operation. During the following treatment patient may find pain, may cry out in agony for half a minute but afterwards, there will be great relief as the sciatic nerve gets freed. If necessary, repeat this treatment after one or two days. With only 2 to 5 sittings, in most of the cases, the patient will get cured. If the patient has already undergone an operation of the spinal cord or the knee within one year this treatment should NOT be taken.
How to stretch Sciatic Nerve
It is very vital for the overall body that the sciatic nerve works properly. For this reason sitting erect is necessary and the following exercise will be found useful.
In the morning stand erect keeping the legs 12/15 inches apart. Raise the hands and try to go backward from the waist as much as possible inhaling at the same time. Then come forward and bend from the waist with extended hands while exhaling at the same time. It will be observed that that due to improper sitting and sleeping practice, the sciatic nerve is contracted and it may not be possible to touch the ground. However, when this exercise is repeated you will be surprised to observe that not only you are able to touch the ground but even go further touching behind the legs. Thus, the spinal cord gets fully stretched and flow of energy is ensured all over the organs.
