Sciatica & Piriformis Syndrome

Man suffering from sciatica with pain in low back radiating down leg

I had been struggling with sciatica in my right leg caused by Piriformis Syndrome for about 6 months. I had tried 2 different chiropractors and an M.D., muscle relaxers and pain meds, Physical therapy and stretches to relieve the tight piriformis muscle and nothing had really helped. Some had made it worse. I must admit I had never really thought about acupuncture much but I was recommended to try it by a few people I had talked with about my problem. I am so glad I did at this point, for after 4 visits with Stephanie over about 1 1/2 months I am much, much better. Pain has gone from almost a constant 6-8 on a 1-10 scale down to none to maybe a 2-4 on a bad day. I am still working to completely eliminate this problem with exercise and walking, but I can now stand to do things without causing me so much pain. I continue to get better every day. Thank you, Stephanie!
