3.UB 57(-) When the pain is on urinary bladder meridian but there is also kidney yang                                       deficiency,then treat this point instead of UB 54.

4.UB 58(-) Treat this point when the pain is between UB&GB meridians.

5.UB 62(-) Treat this point when the pain starts from hip and goes to the lower leg along urinary                       bladder meridian.

6.GB 41,40(-) Treat these points when the pain goes along GB meridian.

Q.7)What are the Prevention methods from Sciatica Pain?

Ans.7) 1.Maintain good posture: Following good posture techniques while you’re sitting, standing, lifting objects and sleeping helps relieve pressure on your lower back.

2.Don’t smoke: Nicotine reduces the blood supply to bones. It weakens the spine and the vertebral disks, which puts more stress on the spine and disks and causes back and spine problems.

3.Maintain a healthy weight: Extra weight and a poor diet are associated with inflammation and pain throughout your body.

4.Exercise regularly: Exercise includes stretching to keep your joints flexible and exercises to strengthen your core – the muscles of your lower back and abdomen. These muscles work to support your spine. Also, do not sit for long periods of time.

• Choose physical activities least likely to hurt your back: Consider low-impact activities such as swimming, walking, yoga or tai chi.

• Keep yourself safe from falls: Wear shoes that fit and keep stairs and walkways free of clutter to reduce your chance of a fall. Make sure rooms are well-lighted and there are grab bars in bathrooms and rails on stairways.
