I was referred to Desert Valley Therapy for a sciatica issue. Sean did the initial evaluation which involved some basic movements to determine the source. Sean stated it was my hip and not my spine. I asked are you sure. Yes 100%. I want three times, each time I asked again to whomever was performing the therapy. Are you sure its not my back... No its not your back.
I spoke to an orthopedic spine surgeon that told me physical therapist are usually wrong. The only way to know for sure is to have an MRI. The results showed a herniated disc. NOT a hip issue.
The spine surgeon also said he has seen more damage by physical therapist for issues like mine than any benefit.
Unless they have X Ray vision. Go instead to the appropriate specialist first to determine the real issue before proceeding on a path to permanent damage,
