Acupuncture for Sciatica Pain

Relieve Sciatica Pain Naturally with Acupuncture: Our Houston studio Offers Holistic Treatments

If you frequently experience pain that runs from your lower back into your buttock and down the back of the affected leg, yours could be a case of sciatica. If unchecked, sciatica’s debilitating effects can stop you from fulfilling simple daily tasks, leaving you frustrated. 


According to Harvard Medical School, sciatica is one of the most prevalent types of pain that affects as many as 40% of people during their lifetime. It has a higher chance of occurrence the older you grow. If you live a sedentary life, you’re a smoker, or are obese, there is a higher risk of getting sciatica.


When sciatica hinders most of your activities, and cold compresses or over-the-counter medication doesn’t work, consider using a non-invasive, drug-free, and holistic solution like acupuncture for sciatica pain as a natural treatment that offers a higher level of efficacy.


At templ™, we work with you to minimize or eliminate sciatica pain through acupuncture, helping restore flexibility and movement in your body.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS OF SCIATICA PAIN?

Of all your body nerves, the sciatic nerve is the longest and one of the most important. It directly affects how you feel and control your legs. When the sciatic nerve becomes pinched, the result is inflammation or irritation that results in a moderate to severe pain in your back. This irritation is what medics refer to as sciatica and can be the result of a herniated disk or an overgrowth of bone that applies pressure on a section of the nerve. 

The typical symptoms of sciatica include:

Lower back pain

Pain in the buttock

Pain running through the back of your thigh, knee, or calf

A burning pain or dull ache

Numbness in your big toe

Pins and needles sensation

In severe cases, sciatica can cause serious leg weakness as well as bowel or bladder changes.
