Website dedicated to patient relief from back pain and sciatica with physican-directed information on the different causes and a calculator of likelihood of piriformis syndrome from experimentally correlated factors.
Secondarily the site recommends yoga exercises that have proven beneficial effects in different forms of lower back pain, rotator cuff syndrome, arthritis, and osteoporosis. The yoga for osteoporosis group has just completed a two-year pilot study in which there was a statistically significant increase in bone mineral density at the hip and lumbar spine with 12 yoga poses done 10-15 minutes daily.
Empirical work on intraocular pressure rise with inversion is also described and analyzed.
