Abstract
The author points out that in the treatment of ischias, all physical methods are widely used; but advises to be strictly guided by the ethology and pathogenesis of this suffering. In the idiopathic form, ethiology consists in two main factors: in the disorder of the exchange of substances and in the common cold; accordingly, physical therapy should be directed. Two methods are most widespread here - hydro and mechanotherapy, to which diet therapy is added. Of the hydrotherapy procedures, the author recommends warm baths or warm-humid limb wraps, especially Scottish showers. In the same cases, where the illness begins with very acute phenomena, one should first refrain from any active therapy, adopting peace, lying on a pillow filled with air or water, additional laxatives and a light diet.
