  1. Acupuncture for Low Back Pain and Sciatica While not all lower back pain can be called 'sciatica', all sciatic pain is essentially related to your lower back and so both conditions will be discussed here to prevent any unnecessary repetition. Back pain is the most common type of complaint in regards to concerns around muscle soreness and injury. If you haven't yet experienced this type of pain, you may do so in the future, so it's worthwhile to learn now how to treat it, and if possible, even prevent it from happening in the first place. Acupuncture for lumbar back pain in Tulsa and other modalities of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) (e.g. cupping therapy) have shown extraordinary results, and acupuncture is especially popular because it can be used alongside any other therapy.

  2. Generally speaking, your 'lower back' is anywhere below your rib cage, and includes your buttocks. Sciatic pain often radiates down one leg or the other, and (as mentioned above) may be felt in your leg alone. In TCM, lower back pain is said to be caused by excessive physical work, excessive sexual activity, pregnancy and labor, overwork, inadequate exercise, or by invasion of an external pathogen. Once the cause of your pain has been determined, a TCM diagnosis is then achieved (be sure to be diagnosed by a properly trained practitioner of TCM, even if it's only acupuncture you plan on receiving for treatment). TCM diagnosis of low-back pain generally involves Kidney deficiency, stagnation of Qi (energy) and Blood, or retention of Damp-Cold in the area. Kidney deficiency is seen in chronic cases of low-back pain, and can be caused by any of the above factors. For example, repeated invasion of Cold-Damp can eventually cause a deficiency of your Kidney organ system and lead to low-back pain. Accompanying symptoms often include a cold feeling in your lower back, pain relief when lying down but aggravated by sexual activity or work, as well as night-sweats, and even knee pain. Acupuncture for lumbar back pain in Tulsais effective in such cases.

  3. Damp-Cold invasion can be seen in both acute and chronic cases of low-back pain. This type of pain tends to be worse in the morning, is relieved by the application of heat, and tends to worsen in damp or cold weather. With Cold and Dampness invasion, usually one or the other predominates, and so you might feel symptoms of Cold more than Dampness, or vice versa.
