Acupuncture is able to treat sciatica, and acupuncture is still very good for the relief of sciatica symptoms. First of all, it depends on what exactly the cause of sciatica is. In fact, the most common cause of sciatica is from lumbar protrusion, which is the problem of lumbar lesions that can lead to sciatica and trigger the symptoms of the lower back and legs. Secondly, there are some people who experience sciatica due to the jamming of the sciatic nerve by the pear-shaped muscle. Regardless of the cause, acupuncture is actually very effective in improving the symptoms by treating the low back and relaxing these parts of the pear-shaped muscle, gluteus maximus and gluteus medius.
