| ...sciatic pain? Any experience? I have been thinking I want to try acupuncture for pain in my back & legs. Also have nerve issues to deal with. Two surgeries in two years; want to look for alternatives as I do not want to have surgery again & I cannot deal with the pain on a constant battle. It interferes with my activity, exercise, job, sleep, etc. |

| the success of acupuncture is individual. i used it as therapy after a car accident and it alleviated the pain. its very thin needles inserted at various points in your body. these are then attached to a muscle stimulator which will stimulate your muscles and increase blood flow to reduce the swelling which causes the pain. |

| I was sent for acupuncture for nerve damage, and it did not work for me, however, there were people in the waiting room of the doctor's office that swore it had improved their condition. It was not painful or even uncomfortable to have done. In fact, the needles are so fine, you can't even feel them. I say go for it. If it works, it will be an simple solution to your problem. If it doesn't work, you can always try something else. |
