Low back Pain   &    Sciatic Pain

Low Back Pain 
is one of the most frequent causes of pain.
Kidneys & Urinary Bladder (and its energetic pathways) in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, control low back. So chronic low back pain is usually due to kidney energy deficiency. Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs are often used to tonify and strengthen the energy of the kidneys in order to reduce the pain and strengthen the lower back. Acupuncture can reduce back pain by clearing the energetic pathways in the low back. As Acupuncture meridians get cleared, enhanced circulation takes place and low back pain is reduced. As circulation improves and pain reduces, range of motion improves as well.

Sciatica - Sciatic Pain, after the low back pain, shares the spot as most frequent conditions treated in our clinic. Sciatica is often more of a neurological pain, which often manifests with nerve pain, usually starting in the low back and traveling down the leg (sometimes as far as the toes area). 
 
The most common type of sciatica is the one with pain traveling from low back down the midsection of the back of the leg. This type of sciatica is known to Acupuncturists as Bladder Sciatica, because this area belongs to the Bladder Meridian. If sciatic pain is along the frontal aspect of the leg, then it involves Stomach Meridian Energy blockage. If sciatica travels along lateral side of the leg, then it is due to the blockage of the Acupuncture Gall Bladder Meridian or Pathways.   
 
Knee Pain - Knees support whole body weight and take a lot of pounding.  After back, sciatica and neck pain, knee pain is next in frequency. Chinese Medicine says that knees are controlled by kidneys. However as far as Acupuncture is concerned, knee pain can be attributed to blocked Stomach (knee cap area), Kidney (inside the knee pain),  Urinary Bladder (back of the knee area)  More is coming
