Compression of the sciatic nerve is one of the most common diseases. Pain can be different, from little to unbearable. One of my patients who suffered sciatica compared it with the gunshot wound to the thigh got in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, the treatment is not always effective. i won't be talking about traditional theories and based on them helpless treatments. The Internet and medical literature pay lots of attention on this acknowledged heresy. I will state only those views on the problem which are productive and methods based on them are time-tested and have positive results, you can find them on the website. One of them is in the end of this article

This article I decided to dedicate to pain in legs which is caused by compression of nerves in lumbosacral segment. Common example of such compression(in medicine it is called peripheral lesion) is sciatica. Such compression occurs when brain cells that control muscles after some negative situation change regular mode to mode of increased activity.
Stress leaves after itself stagnant centers of excitement in the brain which prevent cells from returning to the previous level of activity and muscles stay in a constant tonic tension. Exactly this leads to compression of the nerve passing in narrow places. The success of the treatment depends on whether it is possible with the help of the treatment to eliminate the cause of this disease the compression itself. The thing is those compressions can be in different places separately or in one place at the same time.

A herniated or slipped disc that causes pressure on a nerve root
This condition results from narrowing of the spinal canal with pressure on the nerves. Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of one or more areas in your spine - most often in your upper or lower back. When the narrowing occurs in the lower spine, the lumbar and sacral nerve roots may be affected. Spondylolisthesis. This condition, often the result of degenerative disk disease, occurs when one vertebra slips slightly forward over another vertebra. The displaced bone may pinch the sciatic nerve where it leaves your spine. Piriformis syndrome. The piriformis muscle starts at your lower spine and connects to each thighbone (femur). Piriformis syndrome occurs when the muscle becomes tight or goes into spasms, putting pressure on the sciatic nerve. Prolonged sitting, car accidents and falls can contribute to piriformis syndrome.

Usually it doesn't happen because brain cells that control muscles work in an adequate mode. When cells switch to intensified activity, it leads to never-ending tonic compression of muscles. In our case - compression of muscles in lumbar or buttock. nerves of these areas start being exposed to compression at one or another extent. Depending on which nerve is afflicted, in the area it controls you will fill numbness or pain. if compression is low, the numbness occurs, if compression is over the certain limit, pain is of some intensity. the success of the treatment depends on how precisely we will specify the places of compression to give therapeutic injections in order to relax muscles and eliminate nerve compression.
Back muscles hold vertebrae in the right place and differ from limb muscles, about 30% of back muscles our conscious can't control. in other words, we can't relax them when we want to because they are controlled by brain division responsible for vegetative functions, like heartbeat, intestine functions, hormone release. these brain centers are activated in response to negative stimuli and negative emotions that go with them. usually this vegetative centers activation and negative emotions happen at the same time, though sometimes it doesn't. stress can happen without emotions, for example when a person anesthetized, in coma, unconscious or sleeping(it is not a coincidence that heart attacks and strokes often happen at night). it more often happens other way round, these systems turn on without any stimuli but because of negative emotions. such increase in activity always followed by muscle tense due to the switch of nerve cells, that control muscles, to the higher level of activity. these reaction are the same for animals and humans. however, there is one difference that in more complex human brain stress can leave traces.

Traces are left in a form of cells that are in a constant state of over-excitement after the end of stimuli caused these reaction. Such traces stress can leave in all brain divisions, not only in muscles. those traces are real, new consolidations of cells which really grow together. The increased number and strength of such "unions" lead to serious disorders in a form of various diseases. the complicated network of active connections between different brain divisions. directed initially on organism defense, the reaction forms new, abnormal functional systems. the activity of these systems always have negative consequences for the organism. The disorders of some mechanisms of regulation can being compensated for a long time and result in chronic diseases. And disorders in systems that regulate heart work can lead to death in a few minutes.

Such digression is made to remind that pain in back and limbs is not a separate disease, but a part of general process. that is why if we are able to cure pain in some part of the body that we feel, we must be happy because with this pain other dysfunctions in the brain which we can't see or feel, are also gone. perhaps, the explanation of such connection between emotions, stress reactions and diseases is more important than the subject of an article. because it is easier to cure pain in the leg caused by sciatica than explain the process of premature ageing when Stable Pathological System occurred in the brain formed because of stress.

it is possible to diagnose accurately spinal disk herniation only if CT scanning is made. tense in lumbar and buttock usually can be in all previously mentioned places. depending on what muscles are tensed, nerves that are near are compressed. every nerve is located near the area it controls. that is why special schemes are designed, with their help it is possible to specify which nerve is compressed. for instance, 1st lumbar root ends in , 2nd in thigh, 3rd in buttock, 4th, 5th. the rest 4 toes and heel the 1st controls. If spinal cord herniation compress all nerve fibres, from which spinal roots,that give the beginning of sciatic nerve, are formed, the whole leg will hurt. the same pain will be if nerve roots located outside the spinal cord are compressed by muscles or the sciatic nerve itself.

if separate nerve fibers at any level are more compressed, pain will be in the area where they end. it is difficult to assess the number of involved nerves and the extent of damage. that is why it is better to use the time-tested approach. the main point is that we should influence on all places where the compression is possible. the pain in any part of the leg is caused by tense in lumbar muscles and upper part of buttock. so massive therapeutic treatment must be applied in these areas.

of course we can feel very accurately one area and find sought-for muscles to relax them. but then we have to be prepared to conduct the procedure again if muscle spasm is not eliminated or relaxed. experience shows that in comparison with extremely sore muscles, which are in severe spasticity, muscles located nearby and not that tensed or sore seem normal. after the elimination of compression on the main sore areas general pain in leg may not change because the compression on other areas, that were not treated, is stayed. these almost painless areas become clear. so, in order to exclude new therapeutic procedure, we have to give injections to all sore part of muscles located in the matched side of lumbur and the upper part of buttock where nerves are compressed.

Since man and woman brain functioning is different, pain is located in different places. women(about 80%) usually suffer pain in left ear, left eye, left shoulder, left side of a neck, left part of lumbar, right buttock, right thigh, right knee, right calf, right foot. the majority of men(about 80%) have the opposite problems, pain in right ear, right eye, right shoulder and left leg. however, nobody pays attention on these facts though the observations are not idle. considering such difference between both genders in activity of right and left hemisphere, we can even predict diseases according to ???. such regularity helps to answer the important question: why men suffer a heart attack more frequently than women, regardless the age. I'm absolutely sure about it. if we put in order the activity of vegetative centers of brain and hemispheres, where apparently the main centers responsible for stable heart work are, we will be able to decrease rapidly the heart attack death rate between men. I'm not suggesting it, I'm stating it. The purpose of this website, as i previously mentioned, is not to share my ideas, enter the field with not agreed and fight giving the evidences until win. I'm sure that I'm right and this confidence is based on which undoubtedly proved that used treatment approach RANC can change the heart work. it is possible to influence positively on rhythm, areas affected by ischemia, the location of electrical axis, conductivity may be changed, block can disappear. The improvement of health state showed by changes in objective data(ECG) prove that.
That is why i advise those, who is sceptical about my ideas, not to waste time on objections, but to check them using approach that can, in my opinion, show such positive changes.

the digression from the topic of sciatica to heart diseases i assume as right because i would like to remind that shallow view on a patient with the pain in a leg but without a heart I consider as unacceptable. summarizing the suggested, I'd like to mention that the pressure in hypertonic muscles has to be made not only to lumbar and buttock muscles. Muscle tone of all spine divisions is interdependent, that is why changes in one division under the influence of our manipulations will certainly lead to reallocation of muscles tone in other divisions. It doesn't mean that changes will be positive, it also can change in a way that pain will be higher. Thus, injections in spine muscles in order to relax them and eliminate compression are better to be given in all spasm muscles excluding only neck. According to my observations, neck division change its bent under the influence of other divisions and doesn't require any procedures. The fact that spinal cord divisions are the one united system many cases illustrate, for example, when we press on the chest and pain in a leg becomes higher.

Sometimes it happens that pain in limbs is not connected with nerve compression. When the cells activity of sensitive areas of cortex is increased, we can observe pain in limbs and their divisions. when activity of cells is lowering in areas that control them, the numbness can be felt. old people often complain about indefinite pain, as if the whole body hurts. The patients themselves think that it is the sign of ageing and doctors usually confirm their believes. If we give a list of complains and not mention the patients, we will see that we are talking about the same disorders in the same systems. for example such symptoms like headache weakness, fatigue, dizziness, impaired posture and balance, tremors in the hand, memory changes, attention deficit, slip disorders, hypertension, chest discomfort and pain may experience young patients as well as older ones. younger patient experience these symptoms when they are drunk.

All previously described symptoms are common for disorders in vegetative centers. Only if we are talking about alcohol or drug abuse, symptoms are caused by medicines close in structure to substances responsible for regulation functions in nervous system. Older patients, who have disorders in nervous system, experience symptoms caused by accumulated during the life disorders.

It is common for new emerged structural and functional systems regardless the causes, specific stability to external stimuli. N.P.Behterova called them Stable Pathological State. In order to change the existing situation with the purpose to return to former state, we have to influence on the brain with extreme strength but without harm, harm in a form of new pathological systems. we can use familiar term "reboot" for this influence.

I won't be talking about drug addiction treatment because in comparison with complains received from old patients, the factor caused disorders exists. When older patients complain about the symptoms from the list, the particular cause doesn't exist already. Exactly these patient come to the clinic. The "reboot" made by the short "fireworks" in the brain through the painful irritation in trapezius muscles, is the action possible to start the process of restoration and elimination of numerous pathological systems. It sounds fantastic but it is true. by the way, obvious usefulness and a sense as if a person was reborn after the shake-up of vegetative systems after sauna of cold swimming pool is undeniable. let's get back to sciatica. in practice we rarely encounter with a separate problem of a person, usually we have to define which disorder is prevailed, central or peripheral. Considering the priopity of disorders in the brain over the secondary, peripheral compression when nerves or plexus damaged and bearing in mind the complicated mix of symptoms, it is necessary to use a complex approach.

complex approach means that when we have any symptoms connected with hyperstimulation of the certain muscles,we always have to give injections to painful spots of trapezius muscles in both sides. it makes it possible to influence on all chains of pathological system which lead to diseases.

To sum up, i would like to say that i could just describe the treatment procedure which main principle is: "give painful injections to all muscles of spine and buttock, where the pain is ". how the procedure is conducted you can see in the video presented on this page. Although I suppose that without detailed description of causes and how the disease occurred, including sciatica, the help will still lack the effect. for instance, when the compression of sciatic nerve occurred, people think they made it ill from cold, strained it, or that it is inflamed. the standards of medical help are also not far from folk legends. that is why it is important to dispel myths now if it had not been done yesterday. the only thing I can agree with is taking medicines included in standards with the restoration of the organism is undergoing. but only as an additional therapy to the main treatment of reflex procedures.

New, safe and effective treatment approach of trigeminal neuralgia.
If you are reading this page, you or your relatives suffer pain caused by an inflammation of the trigeminal nerve. On the Internet, as it is the most convenient source of information, you can find many facts about the causes of trigeminal neuralgia and treatments based on incomplete information of true factors that leads to this disease. Many people are coming closer to the solution of this problem, and coming from different sides, with different results. But it seams that my pathogenetic treatment approach(treatment directed on the elimination of the cause) has already finished first. I will tell about everything in this article and in the videos on this page devoted to incurable disease. Modesty - is a good trait which means concealing achievements, not offending others. I suppose, that ancient quotation - "doing good deeds know where to stop" suits this situation. Demonstration of modesty and concealment of an easy and effective treatment of this considered incurable disease and a pain it causes is not actual modesty but at least sabotage.

I think, al the materials that we can find on the internet have several similarities. One of these is in-depth description of trigeminal nerve anatomy, undoubtedly, trigeminal nerve is complex, and suggestions about treatments not taking into consideration the main principle of brain work. It does not matter which way we will choose to find a solution to a problem of recovery of any nerve(including trigeminal) all the attempts will be a failure if we think about a nerve as a separate thing, not connected with others.

I don't want to make you tired of the anatomy, you have already learned a lot about it. Let's get down to business. The brainstem is located at the lower, back part or posterior of the brain. It connects the brain with the spinal column. Nerve roots from spinal column go to all the muscles, bones, vessels and inner organs. Nerve roots end with tiny nerves that penetrate every millimeter of the body with its dense network. All muscles stem from hemispheres each of them has two gyruses reesponsible for muscles movements and sensitivity. Millions of cells(whose outgrowths stretch to body muscles) are concentrated in these gyruses. Strictly speaking, spinal cord consists of such outgrowths. Inner organs, bones, blood vessels are controled from hemispheres and brain stem.

That is how the human nervous system arranged. And trigeminal nerve relates to cranial nerves, starts from the brain stem. It consist of hundreds nerve clusters called "cranial nerves cores" and from them 11 pairs of cranial nerve start. Each of them has its own functions, though I won't talk about them so not to lost track of the topic. Now you will understand the main principleof brain arrangement which not everybody, who tries unsuccessfully to cure, takes into consideration. And everything will fall into place.

Main principle of brain arrangement, which if ignored leads to failure in 100% of cases, is the integration of all its 100 billion cells through brain structure which is in these 100 billion - BRAINSTEM RETICULAR FORMATION. This names translates from Latin as network which is actually a network that is located in all brain divisions. Does not sound familiar? Of course, omnipresent Internet and not only name is familiar. Various brain divisions communica with each other through this network. The server of this network is located in the brainstem and tightly enlace not only the brainstem, but also all 12 pairs of cranial nerves and trigeminal nerve is not an exception. By the way, these vital centers are also in the brain: respiratory, vasomotor, temperature regulating center. That is why even tiny dysfunctions in the brain stem on such an important and small area in a form of cells death usually result in death because of the break in this centers.

Let's get back to trigeminal nerve. This nerve comes out of the cores responsible for motor, sensory and nutrient(vegetative) functions. Disorders in the cells of these cores leads to numerous symptoms, one of them is pain. Pain in any part of the face, tooth, ear, eye, sinuses of the skull and skin is just the reflexion of increased activity of trigeminal nerve cores cells that provide sensivity in this place. Numbness or other senses like goose skin are only the reflection of decreased or periodical changes in those calls activity. That is the main cause of disorders related to trigeminal nerve. On every page in one way or another I talk about the main cause of all problems - disorders in nerve centers work caused by the stress. I will repeat one more time - it is possible to bring back to nerve centers their former regular activity level. We just need to turn on the "reboot" process by such short and powerful stress that will erase tracks of previous problems. It is not difficult as it seems to do. Moreover, trigeminal neuralgia is the most curable because in 99% cases the cause is disorders in cells work. The left 1 % are disorders caused by severe brain damages(intoxication, traumas, tumors and sometimes strokes). Although, trigeminal neuralgia seems insignificant in comparison with other more significant symptoms. That is why we can say that pain caused by trigeminal neuralgia is absolutely curable even if it sounds indecently.

Newton once said: "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants". We live in an information explosion decade which professor N.P. Behterov named "brain decade" - it explains the great number of discoveries in all scientific fields. Nowadays, every diligent student can easily find the information on the internet, turn it into a discovery and make a breakthrough in a certain field. How about mentally challenged people who carried out act of terrorism, invent dodgy fraud, on the internet as well, are the perfect example of such conclusion. Not to mention people who have serious intentions to achieve something in their useful field and analyse great amounts of information. Such people are bound to succeed despite their marks at school or colleges. It is known that Newton itself was removed from school because he could not be taught. Such facts tell us not that Newton is in every idler, but about the quality of educational programs. Such digression was made to help you understand that it is not surprising that every day great discoveries are made including the medicine as one of the most conservative sciences. Thorough research of brain reticular formation started only in the last decade and before this its functions were not clear for the researchers. The discovery of the approach that can affect it through numerous cores of trapezius muscle which are connected tightly with this global cerebral network. It makes it possible to solve problems related to different, previously thought incurable diseases, one of them is our case of damaged sensitive cores of a trigemenal nerve.

The thing is that cores of a trigeminal nerve, the fifth cranial nerve, is located in only a few millimeters from the cores of so-called accessory nerve, the eleventh cranial nerve, which controls trapezius muscles. Muscles spans the neck, shoulders and back. They control movements of these spinal cord regions and support the arm. That is it what the accessory nerve is doing according to traditional theory. Although it is not not quite so. One important thing is missed - its connections in the brain. These connections are so broad, that any disorder occurred in the cortex, subcortex, brainstem, and even in the spinal cord inevitably is developed in painful tense of certain fibers in these muscles. Trigeminal nerve, despite its complexity, is also "complaining" about its "rough luck" by producing muscles spasm(neck, suprascapular part and especially in the middle of shoulders).

Everybody who suffered this pain knows that it is trying to be treat with medicines used for epilepsy, for example Valproic acid, Carbamazepine, Convalis and others. It happens because the genesis of pain when sensitive cores of trigeminal nerve is damaged and epilepsy of different types is the concentration of stagnant excitation. Medicines, lowering this abnormal activity, can also remove symptoms and in our case - pain. Unfortunately, these medicines despite their selectivity exert an inhibitory effect on the whole brain. Epileptologists used to say that epilepsy treatment is worse than epilepsy itself because of the complications. Exactly the same can be said about trigeminal neuralgia. Medicines reduce pain and at the same time lead to weakness, sleepiness and some mental inadequacy which make the quality of life worse. Epilepsy, as well as lethargy, is considered to be inexplicable and incurable. However, hyperstimulation of sore trapezius muscles is able to awake a person from lethargy and at least lower the power, frequency and intensity of epileptic seizures. Detailed description of mechanisms, which are in the basis of the occurrence of lethargy, and cases of wonderful treatment with videos you can find in Lethargy. It is not strange that diseases similar in the cause can be successfully treated by the approach that eliminates this cause. That is why trigeminal neurologia is successfully and easily treated through hyperstimulation of accessory nerve cores which are located in a few millimeters from each other. But the situation with epilepsy is more complicated because of the position of centers in various rain divisions and hugeness of damaged area. And tiny sensitive cores of trigeminal nerve are situated on the small territory. If we draw an analogy between our brain and our planet, then this territory will be Vatikan, for instance. So it does not matter how big is the influence of tiny cores cells, 10-20 electrochemical waves in 40-80 seconds are able to deprive energy and the possibility of the overexcited centers second occurrence for long years, even after the first "attack".

Stress happened and left stagnant centers of overecitement as Ivan Petrovich Pavlov called them. New stress only adds damages to the recovering organism. All brain divisions are linked on different principles, including the reciprocity principle when the increase in activity of one leads to the decrease of the others. I though a lot about how severe pain affect the brain generally and in the case when pain is applied to sore areas of trapezius muscles. And I came to the conclusion that pain can't lead to the stimulation of suppressed brain centers. Cases, when at thee moment of injections heart stopped for 10-15 seconds when the wave of impulses transited across the vasomotor center of the brain, confirms that this wave has powerful suppressive effect on the brain centers. Possibly, the excitement centers, being the most vulnerable in power sense, are primarily exposed to suppressant effect of electrochemical reactions triggered from trapezius muscles.

As a result, oppressed structures change their activity to normal in consequence of the brain areas activity, which were overexcited, decrease to normal. Any analogies of brain work and anatomy will be not precise for obvious reasons. But they are convenient to explain principles of brain work. For example, hyperstimulation affect on damage caused by the stress.

According to my observations, such hyperstimulation, even though it lasts for less than a minute, cause processes of positive changes in the brain which are going on actively for about 3-4 weeks and in the future, judging by patients comments, probably last for years.

It is a mistake to think that dislocations of vessels from normal anatomical positions, facial muscles tense, dental caries(by the way, caused by not ignoring the chewing gum after meal, but by disorders in vegetative cores of trigeminal nerve) or tumors near the ranches which can cause pain don't fall from the sky. All these disorders are caused by dysfunctions in the certain brain centers, for example in facial nerve cores that control mimic muscles, or in other brain areas. Such effectivity of treatment(when treating facial pain and numbness, eye and mouth dryness or lacrimation, salivation when functions of these trophic trigeminal nerve cores are increased ) from trapezius muscles stimulation can be explained by the fact that influence was made an all divisions and centers at the same time. The hormones, immune and other types of regulation are changed. The term "reboot" describes it perfectly.

By the way, the mysterious bruxism(gnashing of teeth) is an oral parafunctional activity which also can't be cured can't be be cause by anything apart from rhythmic alteration of excitation and deceleration in cores of the trigeminal nerve which controls masticatory muscles. I have to remind that the brain is working actively during the sleep but without a control of consciousness and that promotes the disinhibition of excitement which is suppressed when we conscious. And epileptic seizures happen more often during the night. I hardly ever hear complaints about gnashing of teeth from people. Perhaps, the reason that it happens during the night and in comparison with the snoring and don't bother sleeping relatives. Apart from that, the cores don't tend to become disordered. Though it can be treated by the standard procedure of trapezius muscles stimulation.

That is how ordinary various disorders of this important nerve are cured. It has to be also mentioned that introduction of such treatment will make the dentists work easier as every millimeter of the gingiva an teeth control exactly his trophic cores and don't let the bacteria to damage it. It concerns also ophthalmologists and otolaryngologists. The whole thing is that bad work of vegetative cores leads to our teeth, eyes, ears problems. Conjunctivitis, frontal sinusitis, otitis, pulpitis, stomatitis and other "itis" occur because of the bad work of the main brain nerve. I can definitely say that any troubles on the face or in the mouth are connected with the trigeminal nerve. Any symptoms of the face are connected with the trigeminal nerve, apart from twitching - it is connected to the facial nerve and it is another issue.

Yes, I have missed one thing. Which in your opinion nerve is responsible for the order on the face? Right, the same great and terrible TRIGEMINAL NERVE.

I don't think that dentists, ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists and cosmetologists will be offended. They have enough work - traumas, infections and complications after sophisticated piercing. Apart from that, I also don't think that doctors of these similar professions will lose an opportunity to give another effective procedure to their clients only because of their own believes. It is much better than send unfortunate patients to each other with the words: "NOT MY CASE".

I suppose, this is it about the trigeminal nerve. Of course it is brief description but at the same time even light scientific articles may drive readers away from reading. Now you can watch videos which show how the procedure of pharmacological stimulation of trapezius muscles is carried out, which is actually a type of forgotten paravertebral blocks

I have written in the article about the safety of the approach that it use is not limited by the age(as you can see it in the article about the chronic brain ishemia), intellect, gender or the serious condition of the patient. Probably, the only limit is disbelief and unwillingness of the patient. That is expressed mostly by children, people with anxious and suspicious attitude of mind and elderly with DE 2-3. DE is dyscirculatory encephalopathy, disease refers to disorders in cervical circulation and 2-3 are the stages. This disease, apart from symptoms that usually refer to the old age, affect the intellectual abilities of a man leading to the decline of it. Although the brain can suffer in this way also because of traumas and intoxication, the biggest part is alcohol intoxication and leads to traumas. But alcoholics and drug addict I encounter not very often as they deal with their problems themselves.

In the end I'd like to say that no matter how extraordinary and evil or maybe foolish the procedure may look, it is safe, easy in use and so effective for trigeminal nerve disorders that pharmaceutical or complicated surgery seem useless and barbarian. It is also clear that neurosurgery is expensive which is also important. Surely, we can't deal without surgeons but it would to leave for them serious cases, they actually have plenty of them even without trigeminal nerve diseases.

In order not to be confused while telling about our organism features we have to make an agreement about some rules. The thing is when explaining something we should talk about details if it will help to understand the problem.

I would like to tell about noticed features in our organism work that we can use to treat successfully various diseases. To fully explain what I mean I would not deepen into physiological mechanisms. Let's leave the science fro scientists and use only results. Besides, it doesn't matter how much we learn while trying to get to the main point of the phenomenon sooner or later we encounter with completely inexplicable things. And even when we explain them, we encounter with new ones and so on. It is true for nuclear physics as well as medicine. That is why I suggest not to puzzle over the phenomenon causes.

Osteochondrosis, pain in back, spinal disk herniation, intercostal neuralgia, sciatica. In this article I would like to tell about the treatment approach for most common diseases that can't receive a satisfying help so far. The problem is not in that these diseases are incurable, but in treatments focused only on symptoms, not on the causes. It happens not because of the evil intent.
