Sciatica
Acupuncture for Sciatica | Big Easy Acupuncture, Metairie LA
Natural Support for Sciatic Nerve Pain, Back Pain, Tingling, and Leg Symptoms
Sciatica can be painful, frustrating, and limiting. Many people feel sharp pain, burning, numbness, or tingling that starts in the low back or hip and travels down the leg. Sitting, driving, walking, or sleeping can become uncomfortable.
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Sciatic nerve pain is one of the most common nerve-related issues we see. Many people come in after trying stretches, rest, or other treatments without lasting relief.
It is common to worry that something is permanently damaged or that movement will make things worse. In most cases, sciatic nerve irritation is very responsive to the right care.
At Big Easy Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine in Metairie, we help people with sciatica reduce pain, calm irritated nerves, and move more comfortably again using a structured, hands-on approach.
We commonly see sciatica in people who sit for long hours, stay physically active, or have jobs that place repeated stress on the body. Desk workers, active adults, and people with physically demanding work often experience sciatic nerve irritation for different reasons, but the symptoms can feel very similar. continue reading
Holistic Medicine
Holistic Medicine for Pain, Mobility, and Strength | Big Easy Acupuncture, Metairie LA
A practical, whole-body approach to pain, stress, and function
When most people search for “holistic medicine,” they’re looking for care that treats more than just one symptom. They want someone to look at how their pain, stress, movement, sleep, and health all fit together.
At Big Easy Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine in Metairie, “holistic” has a clear meaning. We look at how your muscles, joints, nerves, nervous system, and lifestyle are working together. We then use acupuncture, hands-on work, accountability coaching, and herbal support to help your body and mind function better as a whole.
What Holistic Medicine Means at Big Easy Acupuncture
Here at big easy acupuncture we look the whole body in these ways:
Structure
How you move, your strength, and where tension is held. This leads to which muscles are weak, overworking, or inhibited.
Nerve Pathways
Where nerve irritation, compression, or poor signaling might be affecting strength, sensation, or pain. Acupuncture also helps calm the nervous system to help people feel more relaxed.
Systems
Sleep, stress, digestion, and energy—all of which affect how you heal
Your life
Work demands, activity levels, past injuries, and what you need your body to do day to day
Instead of chasing single symptoms, we look for patterns across all of these areas. continue reading
