Sciatica is pain, tingling or numbness that travels from the low back through the hip and down the leg. It usually means a nerve in the lower spine is being squeezed, often by a herniated or bulging disc.
Pain pills can quiet it for a while, but they do not fix the disc. At All-Natural Healing, Dr. House treats the spine itself, using the same Biopuncture protocol he developed to heal his own herniated discs.
How We Treat Sciatica
- Biopuncture for the lumbar spine, with injections at acupuncture points
- Acupuncture for nerve pain and muscle spasm
- Heated lumbar traction and Impulse Therapy adjustments
- Vibration-plate rehab and a stretching plan
- Nutrition and lifestyle guidance to calm inflammation
Go to the ER If
You have sudden weakness in a leg, numbness in the groin or saddle area, or lose control of your bladder or bowels. These can be emergencies.
