Sciatica:

Sciatic nerve is the longest and the thickest nerve in the body. It emerges from several spinal

nerves, passes under the muscle in the buttocks and extends down each leg. Pain –“especially

shooting pain , numbness or tingling anywhere along the Nerve pathway” is called Sciatica. The

unusual cause is pressure from a vertebra on one of the spinal nerves that form sciatic nerve.

The pain may be worse at night, on sudden moment or after sitting down. As per Chinese

Medicine the most common imbalance in acute sciatica is qi, and blood stagnation in the back

channels and it’s also important to identify the underlying imbalance which may be causing the qi and blood to stagnant.
