To address these issues, we implemented a personalized treatment plan that included several techniques:
- Gentle non-invasive manipulation: To improve spinal mobility and reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve.
- Targeted muscle strengthening exercises: To strengthen the muscles of the back and legs, thereby improving posture and stability.
- Specific stretches: To release muscle tension and improve flexibility.
