Physio - practice beyond present perspective.

There's always a conflict between ' being successful' and 'seen as successful'.
Physiotherapy in India is already moving towards ' being successful' in treating and managing  many health issues in a way that is cost effective , side effects free and has lasting effectiveness.
It is a field of work where exercise prescription based on knowledge of modern medical sciences can be used as prevention, treatment and rehabilitation.
It's a science which is deep rooted into research based evidence. If anyone really understands importance of exercise in modern lifestyle perspective, he/ she would know the importance of Physiotherapeutic exercise plan over any other form of exercise plan. It is case specific and patient specific.
This is also a field of work which can help in community based physical rehabilitation using limited resources.
Importance of planned exercise schedule in managing mental health issues is also well documented.
In a country like India we must look for taking Physiotherapy to heights where no other country may have done so that we can ensure that many of the modern day  health issues are resolved within the cost limitation and before complications develop.
This is a time where many nations are challenging notion of necessary versus unnecessary surgeries.
Physiotherapy is being brought to the forefront in result oriented approach to reduce usage of medicine and surgeries wherever possible.Recent research papers are helping the cause.
In such scenario rather than trying to adopt regulations which were adopted by these countries decades ago and on a verge of change now, we must jump ahead and look into the futuristic evaluation of Physiotherapy. We should move from Physiotherapist to 'Physio Practitioners'.
An integrated course like Doctorate in Physical Therapy needs to be introduced to reassure professional competence. This shall also avoid confusion regarding practice principles of PT among other medical professionals and patients. An integration approach towards existing professionals may be used to keep them at same level as future professionals.
It is also important that to mettle our integrity Physio practitioners must refrain from any unethical practice.
Showing flamboyance within our own fraternity is easy but to prove to the world we must first highlight that our basic science has the scope and charisma to take the challenges of this vast health care arena.
Once we do that, Physiotherapy will be 'seen as successful'.

Many patients even know the treatment to be done - Traction and Diathermy. Sciatic pain is one which radiates from the origin of Sciatic Nerve in the Lumbar Spinal region and radiates down to the legs. Mostly it may radiate down on only one leg.

Sciatic nerve passing under / through the muscle gets compressed due to the above mentioned stress or structural variation. This leads to discomfort / tingling through the Sciatic Nerve route.
