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
