Sciatica
Sciatica is a debilitating condition, experienced by one in 3 people at some time in their lives. I have had great success treating this condition in hundreds of clients over the years.
I was fortunate enough to have had a very good acupuncture teacher in my very early days of study, he taught me a technique that releases the tension in the sciatic nerve very quickly, this tension in most instances is the cause of the excrutiating pain experienced by most sufferers of this condition.
There are of course other causes of this sciatic pain, it can be caused by a herniation of the dics in the lower back, or traumatic injury to the spine, but in most of these instances, at least some relief is gained after the first treatment, it may take a little longer in cronic conditions to achieve a favourable result but generally the pain is diminished markedly.
Case Studies
pregnancy
Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine have been used for many thousands of years to help women who are having difficulty falling pregnant, with very good results in most instances.
Acupuncture is very beneficial during pregnancy,during the first trimester, nausea and vomitting are an unfortunate occurance for some women. Acupuncture greatly reduces the effects of "morning sickness" and or "all day sickness" in some severe cases.
