Acupuncture

Treating Sciatica with Acupuncture

Research has shown that acupuncture causes the body to produce natural steroids and promote the production of natural endorphins. Steroids decrease inflammation, while endorphins are produced by the body to kill pain. Both substances can play an integral part in the breaking up of the pain cycle. Acupuncture directly treats the nervous system and repairs damaged nerves while relieving muscle spasms that cause structural misalignment. Correction in the chi flow also helps to pull the body back into position.

Patients usually find a big improvement within a few sessions. Long term chronic sciatica or severe cases will invariably take longer to resolve. Acupuncture helps/encourages the body to heal itself. Showing patience with your body to heal itself during this process will be rewarded.

According to the World Health Organization:

The effectiveness of acupuncture analgesia (pain relief) has already been established in controlled clinical studies. Acupuncture analgesia works better than a placebo for most kinds of pain, and its effective rate in the treatment of chronic pain is comparable with that of morphine. In addition, numerous laboratory studies have provided further evidence of the efficacy of acupuncture's analgesic action.

Because of the side-effects of long-term drug therapy for pain and the risks of dependence, acupuncture analgesia can be regarded as the method of choice for treating many chronically painful conditions.
