Yes it is. There are effective approaches whether the pain originates in the sciatic nerve itself or from nerve roots in the lower spine.
Acupuncture can help reduce the sciatica pain. I have used acupuncture with cupping and herb to treat many patients with sciatica pain. The efficacy of the treatment depends on how long you have had this problem, and whether you have other health issues. Dr. Zhang
Definitely. In fact there is a special point for sciatica, on each side of the body. Is your sciatica pain running down the back of a leg, or down the side, or both, or is it in both legs?
Yes, acupuncture works very well for sciatica.
I hope you can find an acupuncture clinic near you and get help.

We start with 6 sessions at 2x a week for 3 weeks. Everyone responses differently to treatment but usually expect you to be 30-40% better by the 6th session. Then we will taper down to every other week, so on and so forth.
Yes, acupuncture is effective for sciatica.

We will exam 1st. Then provide dry needling 1st. Patients will find instant results in general.
Depending on patients’ medical histories and conditions, each patient will have different responses. Patients will have to follow up in 3-7days depending on severity.
Patients will be examined again on how much difference they have experienced since the initial acupuncture treatment.
Then we can give patients a plan for symptomatology.
If we find limitations in improvements, we will apply different plans as a holistic approach.
