ABSTRACT

Background ? Sciatica is used to describe leg discomfort, weakness, and tingling numbness which radiates to the foot and is characterized by a sharp, burning sensation. Michael Shack lock demonstrates the Neural Flossing Technique, which lengthens and stresses the tissue, breaks the bands of scar tissue, and enhances mobility. Drivers due to Prolonged sitting, physical workloads, lifting heavy objects, and prolonged unpleasant postures have all been linked to Sciatica. Aim • The aim of this study is to compare the effect of neural flossing technique vs conventional therapy on pain and paraesthesia in drivers with acute sciatica. Material and Methods 40 subjects were included in this study having age 35-50 years, subjects were divided into two groups 20 in each group. Group A received Neural Flossing Technique and Group B received Conventional Therapy Result: - A significant statistical decrease was found in the pain and paraesthesia. Conclusion: - Neural Flossing techniques are more effective than conventional exercise in terms of reducing pain intensity and decreasing paraesthesia. the slider technique has a greater effect The Findings of the current study concluded that the neural flossing techniques combined with conventional therapy should be included in treatment of patients with acute sciatica among drivers.
