A member asked:
Would a kinesiologist doctor be good to treat bulge discs/sciatica/strained muscles? what benefits will i get?

Yes. You will.: Kinesiology — a kinesiologist is a health-care professional who specializes in physical activity, using motion as a tool for prevention, treatment and performance improvement. Kinesitherapy — treatments are based on a combination of posture analysis, therapeutic massages and adapted exercises to re-establish harmony in muscle chains.

Physical Medicine: I am not sure if there is a "medical" specialty in kinesiology. Probably phd. If you want to see a medical doctor for these problems, look for physical medicine and rehabilitation. Rj.

It's Possible: Sounds like you have a pinched nerve in your back. Although you may get some relief with doctor that focuses on kinesiology, I would suggest seeing a pain/spine specialist to evaluate you further to evaluate what level and what can be done to treat you. There are interventional treatments besides medications and surgeries that might reduce or eliminate the pain altogether.
