Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 The root of all those symptoms and signs are coming from sciatic nerve impingement. So the key acupuncture treatment principle should be relieving the nerve by deep acupuncture on UB 23, UB25, UB28 and HUatuojiaji with strong electrical stimulation. For the excruiating pain, 5 dragon needling technique may be used.

At that time my MRI revealed Disc herniation at L3 L4 left side with likely impingenment upon the existing nerve roots. That time I felt excruciating pain in my back and both buttock and I couldn't stand up straight anymore. This went away after 2 days but then I felt pain down my right leg all the way down into my foot. The pain stated from buttocks and goes to right foot. I can walk on my heels and can tiptoe, but walking on my toes was more difficult with my right foot ie can walk but with decided limp. There was drop of foot but there was burning pain ,tingling ,numbness & inability to sense vibration. From that day I am taking physical therapy called electrical muscle stimulator / I.F.T. and hot dip waxing to maintain muscle tone of right foot. Since recovery is taking longer time I request your goodself as which type of Reglexology Therapy is to be performed to evaluate nerve. As thru physiotherapy footdrop has been heeled and there is no drop of foot but presently there is heaviness / stiffness on my right foot. As I have also learned Su jok Acupuncture / accupressure and according to this I have pressurise the healing point related to lumber - ankle and foot. Moreover doing acupuncture of nervous system as per correspondence points with time acupuncture method and tonifying liver and kidney meridian thru 6 ki method with liver joint meridian thru Tri Origin model which is latest therapy given by prof park jae woo of Korea. But I think I am missing something somewhere thats why i am not able to cure it. As you all fully know that is is thru a pinced nerve and please be kind to help me if u can. smile regards TEJPAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
