How does TCM view {condition_name}?
TCM views sciatica as Bi syndrome where Wind, Cold, and Dampness block meridian flow, particularly affecting Taiyang and Shaoyang channels while Kidney deficiency weakens the lumbar region.
Sciatica causes sharp, shooting pain that radiates from the lower back down through the leg, often accompanied by numbness, tingling, and restricted movement that can significantly impact daily activities. At Qin's Clinic, we use Traditional Chinese Medicine to unblock energy flow along affected meridians, reduce nerve inflammation, and address the underlying patterns causing sciatic pain for lasting relief and improved mobility.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), sciatica is commonly attributed to Bi syndrome caused by Wind, Cold, and Dampness blocking Qi and Blood flow along the channels and meridians, particularly the Taiyang and Shaoyang meridians running down the legs. Kidney deficiency may also weaken the lumbar region and predispose to chronic symptoms.
