It's not a real science, people who practice is are not doctors (and didn't study it in a proper school/it's barely regulated anywhere) and at best it's not going to help beyond a brief moment of pain relief and at worse, it's going to hurt you.

If you like to get a massage and get the odd twisting and cracking, that's fine (so do I). What I meant is that if you have a more serious medical condition (a lingering ache or impingement, a tennis elbow, knee pain, back pain, whatever), going to a chiropractor on a regular basis to fix this issue isn't going to help, but a physiotherapist likely will. Good physiotherapists to recommend would be Physiotherapy Phnom Penh and Movement Physiotherapy, but there are many others.

I think my problem is either Piriformis Syndrome or a bulging disc in my back. It acts up when i do too much cycling or am doing some type of moving etc.

You say you think your problem is either Piriformis Syndrome or could be the result of herniated disc or spinal stenosis. Before resorting to treatment you should really get the cause diagnosed so you are sure of the cause and then apply appropriate treatment to the diagnosed cause.

Treatment options vary for piriformis syndrome and sciatica

It is essential to have the underlying cause of your back, buttock, and/or leg pain to be properly diagnosed by a medical professional to help formulate an effective treatment plan. Successful treatment depends on addressing the underlying cause of irritation or compression of your sciatic nerve or your spinal nerve roots.https://www.spine-health.com/blog/pirif ... g-sciatica


How to Tell if Your Sciatica is Actually Piriformis Syndrome
When Your Sciatica Just Won’t Quit You Might Have a Misdiagnosed Case of Piriformis Syndrome
Testing for Piriformis Syndrome

Because piriformis syndrome symptoms mimic those of sciatica, your medical provider will perform specific tests to determine whether your symptoms are discogenic or caused by an impingement of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle.
When testing for pain or weakness in specific positions, your provider will conduct each test until you experience symptoms or for up to 60 seconds, whichever comes first.

In addition to a physical exam, you might also need imaging to rule out other causes for your symptoms. Your doctor may order X-rays, an MRI, or a CT scan. In addition, injections into the piriformis muscle may be used to confirm the diagnosis, while simultaneously helping with treatment.

Once you pin down the source of your pain, you can move forward with treatment, which typically consists of NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and physical therapy. Although you might be inclined to rest, wait, and see what happens, the sooner you find the root of your issues, the sooner you can get back to pain-free living. https://www.spineuniverse.com/condition ... s-syndrome
