How can Acupuncture in North Portland help with sciatica?

Acupuncture increases circulation to damaged tissues and allows the body to heal naturally without drugs and surgery.

When that sciatic nerve is irritated or damaged, your body will send inflammation to the damaged area and swelling will occur, this is known as inflammation around the sciatic nerve.

Acupuncture is able to wake up the nervous system and increase the healing potential to the sciatic nerve.

When Acupuncture is combined with chiropractic, the benefits are compounded to get optimal results. Chiropractic helps mobilize fixated joints and allows nerves to relax with more motion.


How does Chiropractic help with Sciatica?

When the sciatic nerve is pinched off, most likely the sacroiliac joint is fixated and is not allowing proper motion of the pelvic joint. Chiropractic can utilize light forces to mobilize these fixated joints and allow the sciatic nerve to relax from restricted motion.

The next time you have chronic sciatica, leg pain, ask yourself… What is the underlying cause of my sciatica and how can I address it with natural solutions like acupuncture and chiropractic. We live in a world where we rely on pharmaceuticals for every medical problem, this does not have to be the case.

Acupuncture is also known to help with other nerve conditions such as neuropathy, trigeminal neuralgia, radiculopathy and carpel tunnel. The above nerve conditions are all peripheral neuropathys which are characterized by nerve irritation outside the spinal cord. Acupuncture call assists the body’s healing potential by increasing nerve flow and decreasing nerve inflammation.
