What is Acupuncture for Sciatic Nerve Pain?
Acupuncture is an ancient medical treatment derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture works by balancing qi/chi flow throughout anatomical channels called meridians. Qi/Chi is the name for the vital life force which flows thorough our bodies, creating all the anatomical processes we come to expect from the human anatomy. Acupuncture uses ultra thin needles, and sometimes electric current, to stimulate specific points on the body which either need to have qi/chi added or drained. The treatment is usually painless and can be very effective for providing pain management when administered by a master practitioner.
