Sciatica is a spinal condition that results in primarily leg pain. The symptoms of sciatica can radiate into the hips, gluteal muscles, down into the hamstrings and calf muscles in the lower leg. Numbness, tingling and pain may occur in any or all of these regions. One cause of sciatica is piriformis syndrome (link to piriformis syndrome). Acupuncture is a very effective treatment for sciatica, sometimes giving patients relief from the pain when no other treatment has worked. Regular acupuncture treatments in combination with proper stretching can eliminate the symptoms of sciatica and restore the patient to normal mobility and activity.
Acupuncture for Bells Palsy
I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy (partial facial paralysis) on a Friday – and went to Monica that day. I received a total of 4 treatments over the course of the next week. By day 7, I was seeing some initial improvement. By day 12, my Bell's Palsy symptoms were totally gone. In less than 2 weeks Monica was able to cure what doctors said could take up to 6 months to go away! Thank you, Monica!
