Common Sciatica Pain FAQs
How Does Acupuncture Help Sciatica?
Acupuncture works with precision. Dr. Mehvar and Dr. Pourhassani don’t just place needles anywhere; they map out points that directly link to your pain. The goal? To calm inflamed nerves, ease muscle tension, and restore balance. Each needle stimulates a response, boosting blood flow to damaged areas and triggering endorphins—your body’s natural painkillers. At Newport Wellness Group, it’s about targeting the pain’s root, not just covering it up. Ever wonder what true relief feels like?
What Should I Expect During a Session?
Imagine a place that puts you at ease from the start. Every session at Newport Wellness Group begins with a detailed consultation. Dr. Mehvar and Dr. Pourhassani take time to understand your sciatica history and symptoms. They tailor each treatment precisely to your needs. As needles are placed along the back, hips, and legs, you might feel warmth or tingling—proof the body is responding. The setting is calm, with every detail designed to support healing. Nervous about needles? Most patients feel little more than a tiny pinch.
Is Acupuncture Safe for Sciatica Relief?
Yes. Acupuncture is one of the safest treatments when performed by experts. At Newport Wellness Group, Dr. Mehvar and Dr. Pourhassani use single-use, sterile needles and practice strict safety protocols. Both are highly trained, blending knowledge from Western and Eastern medical practices. Their careful technique means treatments are low-risk and often bring relief after just a few sessions. Who knew such simple, targeted care could make such a difference?
How Does Acupuncture Improve Sciatica Over Time?
Acupuncture is more than pain management; it’s about restoring balance. By targeting nerve pathways and calming inflammation, each session at Newport Wellness Group addresses the core of sciatica pain. Dr. Mehvar and Dr. Pourhassani focus on long-term results, helping to reduce nerve sensitivity and tension that keeps pain alive. The goal? Sustainable relief that goes beyond the immediate session. Imagine a life where sciatica no longer controls you.
Can Acupuncture Prevent Sciatica from Returning?
Absolutely. Acupuncture isn’t just reactive; it’s preventative. Regular sessions help manage muscle tension, reduce nerve irritation, and keep the body’s natural defenses strong. At Newport Wellness Group, maintenance sessions allow the body to maintain balance and resilience. So, instead of waiting for the pain to flare up again, why not invest in keeping it at bay? What could life look like without the constant threat of sciatica pain?
