Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been a traditional part of Chinese medication for centuries. Modern research is showing that it can actually be a very helpful way of dealing with sciatica. During an acupuncture treatment, a specialist will gently place small needles into certain pressure points.
Most acupuncture for sciatica will involve the legs and buttocks, but it can even be helpful to stimulate pressure points on other parts of the body. This can help to relax muscles, halt inflammation, and stimulate blood flow to the area.
