What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica is a condition that affects the nerves in the lower back. It can be painful and make it difficult to move your legs or bend over. Acupuncture can help relieve sciatica by stimulating nerves in the spine, which helps alleviate pain. Sciatica may cause sharp pain in the lower back and outer thigh that gets worse when you move or stretch your leg. It’s important to treat sciatica because it can make daily activities difficult and limit your ability to walk after long periods of sitting or standing.
