Find relief from sciatic pain.
If you suffer from pain that radiates along your sciatic nerve, this is known as sciatica. Most of the time, sciatic pain will branch out from your lower back and travel down through your hips, eventually going down to your leg. For most people, this sciatic pain only affects one side of their body.
Sciatic pain has a number of causes. For example, you may struggle with sciatica if there is a bone spur on your spine or if you have a herniated disk. These issues typically lead to inflammation, which can cause pain and even numbness in your leg.
Even though the pain you experience from sciatica can be intense, this discomfort usually does not last. At Active Integrative Medicine, we can help you find relief through acupuncture for sciatica. Acupuncture can improve blood circulation, regulate the nervous system, and relax tight muscles, all of which can help with your sciatica.
