Reflexology might help him,its a therapy that helps the body to heal itself, Good for many things/ailments so I'm sure he would benefit

For me it would be Reiki ......... falling off horses & a bad car crash many moons ago has left me with sciatica & for years I have visited an osteopath to releive the pain but a few months ago experienced reiki healing for the first time & it blew my mind. Since this I have been attuned in reiki myself & continue the self healing, my sciatica hasn't gone away (its not a miracle cure :lol: ) but the pain is so much less than it used to be ......... and, "touch wood", since then I haven't had a "can't get turn over in bed or get up without crying with pain" episode.

I am a qualified Holistic Therapist, and use several therapies to help my clients.
Well - to really be helpful, you need to understand the person and the problem thoroughly - Holistic treatment (as you might know) means to treat the body as a whole - which is why i do a 1 hour plus consultation prior to commencing treatment on a new client. So, any suggestions that i or anyone else give you for a complex problem in this format, with only a little information, is bound to be of limited use.

So, what i would suggest, is to find a well qualified and experienced therapist in your area who can treat your brother-in-law properly, with full consultation and understanding of the problem.

Having said that, based on the minimal information here, Aromatherapy Massage, Reflexology, Reiki, Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Vitamin/mineral/natural supplementation, are all routes worth exploring.

Expect to have to go for a series of treatments, and perhaps to explore more than one avenue of treatment for optimal results.

If you could elaborate a little more, it may be possible for me to advise more comprehensively.
