Question:
Anyone try accupuncture for siatica?
I have chronic siatic pain due to ruptured discs. I have had two back surgerys but still have pain. Was wondering if anyone has tried acupuncture for this and if so did it help?
Answers:
because your health is involved . . . . you need to proceed with caution as you don't want to inflame the sciatic nerve anymore then it is. I know someone who used zanaflex, it is a muscle relaxer and not homeopathic but it works. Have you ever tried going to a DO? Doctor of Osteopath? I had a really good one, he was trained at the U.of PA., acupuncture might help, you need to make sure that who ever you use, is good - ask around, ask your doctor for a recommendation
