Sciatica is one of the most common and frustrating types of nerve-related pain. It typically presents as pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that starts in the lower back or hip and radiates down one leg—often following the path of the sciatic nerve through the buttock, thigh, and calf.

This condition can cause simple movements to be painful, disrupt sleep, and interfere with activities such as walking, driving, sitting, or lifting.

What Causes Sciatic Pain?

Sciatica can be triggered by multiple underlying factors, such as:

• Lumbar disc herniation or bulging

• Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)

• Piriformis syndrome (nerve compression in the hip)

• Chronic inflammation

• Weakness - vital substances depletion

• Postural imbalances or repetitive strain

• Cold-damp tissue environment, which restricts healthy circulation

• Muscular tightness or joint dysfunction, often in the lower spine or hips

These issues create pressure and inflammation along the sciatic nerve pathway, leading to discomfort, weakness, or a sharp, radiating pain that may worsen with movement or prolonged sitting.

Sciatica Symptoms We Commonly See at Hamilton Mill Acupuncture:

• Radiating pain from the lower back or hip down to the thigh, calf, or foot

• Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations

• Muscle weakness in the leg or foot

• Limited range of motion or stiffness in the lower back

• Discomfort worsened by sitting, standing, or walking

Our Approach: How Acupuncture Relieves Sciatic Pain

At Hamilton Mill Acupuncture, we use Electro-Acupuncture Medicine (EAM) and meridian-based therapy to treat the underlying cause of sciatica, not just the symptoms.

According to acupuncture theory, sciatic pain often results from stagnation or obstruction in the corresponding meridians. These pathways run along the back, hips, and legs. When circulation is restricted by inflammation, cold-damp buildup, muscle tightness, or weakness, it slows down the healing process, reduces blood and nourishment flow, and leads to inflamed nerves and pain.

Treatment Goals - Heal and Relieve Pain Using Electro-Acupuncture Medicine (EAM):

At Hamilton Mill Acupuncture, our approach to sciatica focuses on:

• Unlock stagnation to restore nerve and muscle function

• Reduce inflammation in surrounding tissues to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve

• Relax tight muscles and tendons that compress nerve pathways

• Improve blood nourishment and lymphatic circulation to clear inflammation and stagnation

• Strengthening and supporting the lower spine and surrounding tissues

• Promote internal healing and cellular regeneration, especially in tissues that support the spine and hips

By applying gentle, targeted electrical stimulation to acupuncture points, EAM enhances the body’s natural ability to regulate inflammation and stimulate nerve repair.
