Sciatica Treatment in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Sciatica is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, producing pain that radiates from the lower back through the buttocks and down one or both legs. At Vibrant Health Center in Fort Lauderdale, we treat sciatica using acupuncture and functional medicine to provide lasting relief.
How Acupuncture Treats Sciatica
Acupuncture targets specific points along the sciatic nerve pathway to reduce inflammation, release muscle tension, and restore proper nerve function. Clinical studies confirm acupuncture is highly effective for sciatic nerve pain, often providing relief where conventional treatments have failed. Dr. Daylin Shelley DAHM uses precise needling techniques to decompress the nerve and calm the inflammatory response driving your symptoms.
The Functional Medicine Approach to Sciatica
Rather than treating symptoms alone, we investigate why the sciatic nerve is irritated. We assess spinal alignment, core muscle weakness, inflammatory markers, and nutritional deficiencies contributing to nerve compression. This root-cause evaluation allows us to build a personalised plan rather than relying solely on pain medication.
