sciatica for two months

40 yr old female patient came due to right side sciatica along gb channel. pain starts from right buttock area and radiates down to gb 31 and down to knee along st channel

s/s all negative

pain is worse with cold weather and dampness

hip joint (right) is severely painful when pressed.

1st treatment gb 30 and zua gol left side (radiating pain was reduced by 50 percent)

upon second visit gb 38 + hip joint pain disappears

(even though pain is along gb channel. it is very crucial to defferentiate. tonifying gb channel would have not worked for this case)
