Sciatica

Sciatica and Back Pain

Sciatica and back pain can be distressing and destabilising, and can seriously disrupt everyday life. This may be caused by an initial injury or trauma, a herniated disk, or by long-term physiological and emotional factors that, over time, lead to imbalance.

A small clinical trial published by JAMA Internal Medicine in 2024 found acupuncture able to offer relief. In the randomised study, 216 people with an average age of 51 were treated for sciatica caused by a herniated disk, with either real acupuncture or sham acupuncture. In 10 sessions spaced over four weeks, those who received real acupuncture reported decreased leg pain and better physical function, with results lasting up to a year.
