The root of all those symptoms and signs are coming from sciatic nerve
impingement. So the key acupuncture treatment principle should be relieving
the nerve by deep acupuncture on UB 23, UB25, UB28 and HUatuojiaji with
strong electrical stimulation. For the excruiating pain, 5 dragon needling
technique may be used.

Subject: [acupuncture] PINCHED NERVE - FOOTDROP
Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2006 14:07:29 -0000

Smile Greeting everybody in this group - Just joined and writing my
problem with a request to doctors and specialists to study it and
answer me a suitable reply

About 4 years back I have an attack of nervous breakdown resulting
in right side footdrop. At that time my MRI revealed Disc
herniation at L3 L4 left side with likely impingenment upon the
existing nerve roots. That time I felt excruciating pain in my back
and both buttock and I couldn't stand up straight anymore. This
went away after 2 days but then I felt pain down my right leg all
the way down into my foot. The pain stated from buttocks and goes to
right foot. I can walk on my heels and can tiptoe, but
walking on my toes was more difficult with my right foot ie can
walk but with decided limp. There was drop of foot but there was
burning pain ,tingling ,numbness & inability to sense vibration.

From that day I am taking physical therapy called electrical muscle
stimulator / I.F.T. and hot dip waxing to maintain muscle tone of
right foot. Since recovery is taking longer time I request your
goodself as which type of Reglexology Therapy is to be performed to
evaluate nerve.

As thru physiotherapy footdrop has been heeled and there is no
drop of foot but presently there is heaviness / stiffness
on my right foot. As I have also learned Su jok Acupuncture /
accupressure and according to this I have pressurise the healing
point related to lumber - ankle and foot. Moreover doing
acupuncture of nervous system as per correspondence points with
time acupuncture method and tonifying liver and kidney meridian thru
6 ki method with liver joint meridian thru Tri Origin model which is
latest therapy given by prof park jae woo of Korea.

But I think I am missing something somewhere thats why i am not able
to cure it.

As you all fully know that is is thru a pinced nerve and please be
kind to help me if u can.

smile regards
