3 Ways To Identify Treatable Sciatica Pain
1. Lower Back Pain
2. Pain generating down leg
3. Pain and/or numbness in foot
The main cause of sciatic pain comes from a dysfunction in the pelvic that generates pain down the buttocks, sides of leg or down to the feet, where in severe cases can cause numbness. It may or may not be accompanied by lower back pain. In cases where it is experienced as lower back pain, many patients believe it is a back problem rather than a pelvic problem that often gets overlooked and misdiagnosed.
The pain is generating from the sacroiliac (SI) joints in the pelvic caused by a minor shifts (dislocations) in the pelvic caused by a number of things such as uneven leg length, trauma (giving birth or injury), arthritis or degeneration. What happens is that the pelvic bone shifts and becomes unaligned, shifting forward or backward, or gets rotated and puts pressure on the surrounding nerves and resulting in pain. If left untreated, it can become chronic and can result in toes becoming numb.
THE GOOD NEWS. Sciatica problems are curable without injections or surgery. Acupuncture treatments help get rid of the adhesions of the soft tissue that forms on the SI joints, helps to strengthen the muscles supporting the pelvic, and realigns the pelvic and releasing the nerve pain.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS AND HOW LONG WILL IT LAST? It takes about an average of 10 treatments to correct the root of the problem. For chronic conditions that have been experienced for many years or decades, it could take extra treatments. The pain-free results can last for many years. If there is a slight reoccurrence, it can easily be remedied with one or two follow-up treatments.
BACK PROBLEMS: Many back problems begin with an untreated sciatica problem. An untreated pelvic shift (SI problem) can put pressure on other parts of the spine that can cause secondary back problems. However, once the sciatica is treated, these other symptoms can easily disappear.
I’ve been successfully treating sciatica, back and neck problems for 40 years. My recommendation is that one sees an acupuncturist before opting for back surgery.
