Summary

Sciatica is not a medical condition itself, but is a symptom of whatever condition is affecting your sciatic nerve. Pain in the lower back, hip and legs is the most common symptom. However, tingling, numbness and weakness are also symptoms of a damaged sciatic nerve. Physical therapy is a popular and effective way of treating the pain from sciatica. Myofascial release (MFR) is another useful option for sciatica due to the fact that it focuses the connective tissues of the body, including muscles and the fibrous tissues, often called fascia, encircling the joints.This study will be conducted to compare the Effects of myofacial release technique with and without sciatic nerve slider technique on Pain, Range of Motion and Functional Disability among cricket players with Sciatica. This study will be conducted because, no such evidence found in literature to find out the effects of myofacial release technique with sciatic nerve slider technique for sciatica. Myofacial release technique and sciatic nerve slider technique are useful, because these can reduce patients number of visits for the treatment and are easy to use, feasible and cost effective. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the human body. It is formed at the point where five nerves from the lower back all come together, and stretches all the way from the hips to the bottoms of the feet. When this important nerve becomes compressed, inflamed or irritated, it causes the pain in the lower back and legs known as sciatica. A physical therapist uses a number of proven methods to help relieve sciatic pain. One of the most commonly employed methods is known as myofascial release therapy. Myofascial release is a method that a physical therapist can use to treat many sources of pain that are caused by damage to the nervous system. It involves the therapist using hands-on, manual techniques to release areas of tension and pain in the body. Here are three reasons that myofascial release is an effective tool for treating sciatica.
