Program Two may be appropriate if you experience low back pain that progresses to asymmetrical (on one side) buttock pain and then moves into the thigh and eventually into the calf and foot (sciatica). Once symptoms appear below the knee, a person may also experience numbness, tingling and weakness. Besides experiencing leg pain, patients describe the pain as a continuous or intermittent throbbing and/or tooth ache.

Program Two is specifically designed to deal with persistent buttock, thigh or calf pain. If your pain falls within any of the area depicted on the diagram located on the right side of this page, Program Two may be appropriate for you.
