Study: Acupuncture for Chronic Sciatica Pain
Study Supports Acupuncture for Chronic Sciatica Pain

A herniated disc in the lumbar (lower) spine is the most common cause of chronic sciatica, a condition in which back pain extends down the leg. The affected nerve is the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down the back of the legs and is the largest nerve in the human body. New research suggests acupuncture may be a great option for these patients.
