How Your Weight Affects Your Sciatica Pain
Sciatica pain arises from a wide range of injuries and conditions. When it comes to treatment and resolving the symptoms, your weight is one factor that you can control to positively impact your outcome.
Acupuncture is available at Hunterdon Orthopaedic Institute beginning July 6th. Licensed acupuncturist Jennifer L. Palko will see patients on Mondays in our Pavilion office (located at: 194 Rte 31 Flemington, NJ 08822) from 9am – 6pm.
Acupuncture is a holistic therapy endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) for treating a variety of health conditions. It is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves the application of slim, one-time-use needles to specific areas, called acupoints.
Acupuncture has proven beneficial in relieving acute and chronic pain, digestive disorders, fatigue, migraines, anxiety and stress, insomnia, asthma and seasonal allergies, neurological problems, morning sickness and much more.
HOI also provides related services like auricular acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, bodywork, cupping therapy, dietary therapy and nutrition, and lifestyle counseling to support pain relief and overall wellness:
