  • Sciatica Pain Treatment?

    I have had sciatica pain for about a month. When I have neck pain I go to my Accupressure person (not accupuncture, no needles), and the next day I feel great and the pain is gone. I want to go see him for this sciatica pain, but am wondering if accupressure will make it better or make it worse. Has anyone out there used this treatment (pressure) for sciatica and how much has it helped? Thank you for any ideas you can offer. I do not want to take any drugs as the regular doctor suggests.

  • Does Medicaid pay for a spinal stimulator implant for treatment of chronic pain?

    Question posted from Lois M




    I have a friend who does not want back surgery. Does Medicaid pay for the spinal stimulator which is implanted directly under the skin and used to control pain?
