Sciatica is pain that travels from the lower back or buttock down a leg, sometimes with tingling, numbness, or weakness. It often results from irritation of a spinal nerve and can make sitting, walking, or sleeping uncomfortable.
Acupuncture may help relieve sciatic pain by influencing how the nervous system processes pain. When appropriate, we may add gentle electrical stimulation (e-stim), which delivers mild pulses through the needles to activate the body's pain-regulating pathways, and a TDP warming lamp to relax tight muscles and encourage local circulation. Care is tailored to your symptoms and comfort.

Important: New bladder or bowel problems, numbness around the groin, or rapidly worsening leg weakness need emergency medical evaluation.
