Many years ago,I wrote about Dr Fishman’s nonsurgical treatment of the piriformis syndrome,terrible pain in the lower back or leg caused by a muscle spasm(痉挛)in the buttocks that traps the nerve.The condition is often misdiagnosed as a back problem,and patients frequently undergo surgery or longtime physical therapy without relief.
Dr Fishman developed a simple diagnostic technique for the piriformis syndrome and showed that an injection into the muscle to break up the spasm,sometimes followed by yoga exercises or brief physical therapy,relieves the pain in most cases.
Nowadays,yoga exercises form a centerpiece of his practice.Dr Fishman,a lifelong devotee of yoga who studied it for three years in India before going to medical school,uses various yoga positions to help prevent,treat,stop and often change conditions like shoulder and other bone injuries.I rarely devote this column to one doctor’s approach to treatment,and I’m not presenting his approach as a cureall,but I do think it has value.He has written several books that can be helpful if used in combination with proper medical diagnosis and guidance.
For many years,yoga teachers and enthusiasts have proved the benefits to the body of this ancient practice,but it is the rare physician who both supports it and documents its value in clinical tests.Dr Fishman has done both.
本文主要介绍了Dr Fishman使用瑜伽治疗骨科疾病的故事。
