Nerve Issues

Is the compression of the median nerve in the wrist which causes numbness, tingling or weakness in the hand. Acupuncture can release the tension of the forearm muscle, and reduce nerve pain by increasing the pain threshold, rejuvenating the circulation of the median nerve.

Sciatica is a type of nerve impingement. The cause may be due to the sciatic nerve being compressed by disc, swollen muscle, tumor or displaced vertebra. The symptom is pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches out from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. How do we treat this problem? Acupuncture is a great method for pain relief caused by nerve impingement. It can relax the contracting muscle to reduce pressure on the nerve, can increase pain threshold and redirect pain sensation to reduce or inhibit nerve pain. The best treatment methodology for sciatica or any nerve impingement is to solve the cause of the compression.
