Some clarification on my post yesterday......the problem is this person is chronically dehydrated. Hydration is essential for musculoskeletal health (and every cell function!). It does not make sense to continue to offer treatments, and surgery, without addressing basic physiology. Add to this the high intake of coke zero - contains aspartame - which has been shown to disrupt nerve function (among other things). As practitioners, we can get much better outcomes and help people so much more if we take a broader approach. In my experience, chronic back pain and sciatic pain are rarely just about dysfunctional biomechanics and disc pathology.
