SCIATIC NERVE PAIN ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT
January 8th, 2008
Sciatic nerve pain acupuncture treatment can maintain treatment outcomes for up to six months or longer without the negative side effects that may occur from conventional treatment therapies. By alleviating pain, sciatic nerve pain acupuncture treatment decreases use of pain medication. Avoiding side effects of various pain medications is one reason to consider sciatic nerve pain acupuncture treatment.
Acupuncture treatment increases production of endorphins, which aid in reducing pain. Acupuncture treatment also causes the body to produce natural steroids, which decrease inflammation. Acupuncture treatment often results in long term back pain relief. Acupuncture treatment treats sciatica with acupuncture at both local pain sites and distal points away from the pain area to reduce pain symptoms and treat the condition.
When combined with physical therapy, treatment can cure sciatica pain naturally while preventing recurrence. For both acute and chronic cases of sciatica, sciatic nerve pain acupuncture treatment is recommended as a weekly treatment initially with decreased sessions as the pain diminishes. For individuals with chronic sciatica conditions, sciatic nerve pain acupuncture treatment may require an initial treatment plan of three months or longer.
The National Institutes of Health recognizes acupuncture as an effective therapy for low back pain. To reduce sciatica pain, sciatic nerve pain acupuncture treatment varies according to the severity, cause and duration of the condition. These treatment eases pain while reducing tightness of the piniformis muscle that presses on the sciatic nerve.
Many individuals experiencing the sciatic pain that radiates down into the back of a leg from the lower back or hip find that sciatic nerve pain acupuncture treatment eases the pinched sciatic nerve. In addition to sciatic nerve pain acupuncture treatment, exercises may be recommended to strengthen the back and abdominal muscles, which is helpful when the sciatic pain is being treated with acupuncture.
