Sciatica pain affects as many as 40% of the population at some point in their
lives…
The pain comes from the nerve roots to the sciatic nerve being pinched… This happens mostly due to a herniated disk in the spine, or an overgrowth of bone (bone spurs) in the spine…
And if you´ve experienced the pain, you´ll know how debilitating it can be and you´ll no doubt be looking for reliable treatments to reduce the pain…
Previous studies have shown that acupuncture can help reduce sciatica pain and a recent study out of China has just shown that the benefits from treatment can persist up to a year…

A good joint formula is not complete without Glucosamine and Chondroitin!
Glucosamine and Chondroitin have long been trusted for their role in joint health. Healthy joints produce their own glucosamine, but with age, production slows down, which means the body loses some of its ability to repair joints naturally.
Thankfully, by taking Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplements, you can help prevent cartilage from breaking down and help cells repair in your joints.
Studies have also shown that Chondroitin helps reduce pain, increase joint mobility and decrease the need for painkillers.
A recent Cochrane Collaboration review on Chondroitin, looked at 43 clinical trials over a period of more than 20 years, involving 9,110 participants who took chondroitin for osteoarthritis. The review found that Chondroitin was effective in safely improving pain and functional capacity in patients.
In another study, published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, researchers found that a combination of Chondroitin and Glucosamine was as effective as the anti-inflammatory drug celecoxib after six months of treatment in patients with severe osteoarthritis. Pain, functional disability, stiffness and swelling were significantly reduced – without the usual side-effects associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Both Glucosamine and Chondroitin help reduce inflammation, allowing the cells in your joints to maintain their structural integrity.
And, when you combine Glucosamine, Chondroitin and another SEVEN essential joint support nutrients, you have a powerful combo to reduce inflammation and reduce, or even potentially eliminate, your joint pain!
Sciatica pain reduced and functionality improved after acupuncture treatment…
The study involved 216 patients in 6 hospitals with chronic sciatica from a herniated disk in the spine.
110 of these patients received 10 sessions of acupuncture over 4 weeks while the other half of the group received a sham treatment resembling acupuncture.
After 4 weeks, the patients that had received the acupuncture had significantly less sciatica pain (pain in the legs) and improved functionality (reduced disability).
And the best part was that at week 52 (that´s a whole year later), the patients who had received acupuncture fared better than their counterparts who received the sham treatment.
There were also no adverse side-effects reported.

But how does acupuncture help relieve sciatica pain?
Acupuncture treatment involves inserting tiny, thin needles into specific points of the body.
The needles stimulate the release of natural painkillers, called endorphins. They also help improve blood flow to affected areas, which reduces inflammation and promotes the relaxation of the muscles around the spinal area. This in turn, reduces the pressure on the sciatica nerve endings, allowing it to heal.
If you have sciatica pain, consider seeking a health professional who can help reduce your pain through acupuncture.
