Sciatica
At John’s Island Acupuncture we can use acupuncture to help alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with sciatica by targeting specific points along the body's meridians to promote electrical flow, and unknotting muscles that may be strangle-holding the nerve. Sciatica typically involves nerve irritation, often due to herniated discs, or muscle tension compressing the sciatic nerve. By inserting fine needles into key acupoints, acupuncture can help reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation, and release endorphins, the body's natural pain relievers. Additionally, acupuncture can help relax tight muscles around the lower back and hips, addressing the root causes of sciatica while promoting overall well-being and reducing pain.
Acupuncture and herbs can work together to treat sciatica. Traditional Chinese herbal formulas are tailored to each individual’s needs, working to improve circulation, reduce muscle spasms, and nourish the nerves. When combined with acupuncture, herbal medicine can enhance pain relief, promote healing, and prevent future flare-ups. At Johns Island Acupuncture, we create customized herbal formulas and acupuncture treatment plans to target your specific symptoms and restore balance, providing a natural, long-term solution for sciatica.
