SV: restless leg syndrome, sciatica

[Guest guest]

Hello AJ Sarrat!

 

 

 

I have treated 50+ patients with restless leg syndrome and have never needed

more than 3 treatments, even though some of the patients have had the

problem for 10 or more years. I use 3 needles on each leg, ST36, ST 37 and

ST39…..that is it!

2 questions...

1. Has anyone had success treating restless leg syndrome? If so how?

My patient's mother asked me because she has an 88 year old friend who

has just developed RLS and is having a rough time. (she also told me

that they recently found a gene responsible for it? seems strange to

me)

2. A patient I have seen a couple of times for post-op care from a

fusion of L4,L5,S1 who was getting great relief and reducing pain meds

woke up in the middle of the night (after treatment that morning) with

a sciatic type pain - classic presentation, and is now concerned that

acupuncture may have caused it. She spoke with her M.D. who told her

acupuncture was probably not to blame, but she is very hesitant to

have any more treatments. Have any of you seen other cases like this?

It seems odd to have happened so many hours after needling.
