Acupuncture For Slipped Disc Pain and Related Neuropathies

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  If you have a herniated disc, you know how painful daily activities can be and the distal neuropathies that accompany the localized pain.  For example, a herniated disc at S1/S2 can be most painful in the lower back but can also manifest as painful intercourse and numbness, tingling and pain radiating down the leg to the toes.  Cortisone shots only mask the pain temporarily and do nothing to resolve the root problem.  Acupuncture is highly effective for reparation and regeneration of nerves and related connective tissue both local and distal to the root of your pain.  Therapy is cumulative over time, but the end result is this:  you will be pain free, have a fine quality of life and enjoy most or all of the activities you like to participate in.  Call or email the office today and begin your road back to good health!
