Sciatica

“What People Coping With Pain
OUGHT TO KNOW About Acupuncture.”

“You Have a Natural, Safe, Effective, and Drug Free Alternative…”

Back pain, whether caused by chronic sciatica, a bulging disc, or arthritis is very painful and can be disabling.  A person suffering from sciatica has an inflamed sciatic nerve.  This nerve starts roughly at the base of the spine, travels down the back of the leg and then stops in your foot.  Sciatic pain is difficult to treat because nerve pain does not respond well to painkillers.  Sciatica can cause severe, stabbing pain and can make the patient cry out when sudden movements are made.

Acupuncture, a complementary therapy for the treatment of chronic pain, works by stimulating the nervous system and allowing for the body to regain balance.

In December 2007, the Center for Complementary Medicine Research out of Munchen, Germany filed a report on the efficacy of acupuncture in treating chronic pain.  Scientists discovered that acupuncture proved to be a treatment in high demand as an option for dealing with chronic pain conditions, and in fact they recommended that acupuncture be covered under traditional health insurance policies due to its effectiveness.

There are other ways to relieve back pain without medication.  These include physical therapy, and a progressive exercise program that uses both stretching and balance techniques.  Back pain may not be completely relieved by exercise or physical therapy alone and that is when alternative treatments become useful. Strengthening the stomach muscles through exercise is a specific way to increase back strength and improve the overall functioning of the low back.

Miami Acupuncturists use thin, sterile, stainless steel needles that do not hurt when they are inserted. There are points in the body, that when stimulated, decrease pain and promote an overall sense of well being. Miami Acupuncturists are trained individuals who have completed extensive classroom and clinical hours in order to become certified to treat patients.

Shoulder pain is another difficult to treat illness because of the complexity of the shoulder joint. The shoulder is a ball and socket joint, attached together by ligaments and protected by cartilage.  If there is ligament damage or the cartilage has worn down, the joint will hurt when it is used.  There is no significant way to stop shoulder pain that is caused by worn cartilage without surgery.  Acupuncture may help you keep pain at bay while you wait for a surgical procedure.
