Acupuncture for Sciatica
Sciatica Pain Relief
Sciatica is nerve pain caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve. This causes pain, numbness or tingling from the lower back down the thigh and the leg. As many as 40% of people will suffer from sciatic nerve pain within their lifetime. Sciatic nerve pain can be misdiagnosed as back pain, however the causes of the sciatic nerve pain are quite different. Pain originates within the sciatic nerves, which are as thick as your little finger. When there is compression of the sciatic nerve it can prevent individuals from performing activities of daily living. No two sciatic pain issues are alike - episodes can vary from dull aches to stabbing pain or even throbbing heat! Studies show that acupuncture has a success rate of 82 percent and when combined with herbal medicine success rates are as high as 95 percent!
