RE: [ozmidwifery] sciatic pain

[Jane Palmer]

Dear Linda   The options open to your friend include seeing either a physiotherapist, osteopath or chiropractor. Ideally see a professional that has a special interest in pregnancy. All use different techniques with varying degrees of success.   There are special pregnancy exercises that can help elevate backache in pregnancy - your friend would need to be shown how do do these exercises. A physiotherapist or some midwives will be able to show your friend these exercises.   Cheers   Jane   Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond Caring, Professional Midwifery Services Sydney Visit http://www.pregnancy.com.au -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of linda kamchevski Sent: Tuesday, 14 October 2003 8:22 AM To: list Subject: [ozmidwifery] siatic pain hi all hoping to get advice   A friend of mine is 22 weeks pregnant with her first baby.  From 17 weeks she has suffered from siatica pain that is progressively getting worse.  I would be appreciative for any and all advise that you may be able to dig up.    Tah  linda
