Acupuncture for Sciatica
At Durham Family Wellness, we offer acupuncture treatments for sciatica designed to target your pain and promote natural healing.
​
Sciatica pain can be sharp, shooting, and life-interrupting. Whether you're dealing with burning sensations, numbness, or persistent discomfort in your lower back or legs, you're not alone—and you don’t have to live with it.
​
Why Choose Acupuncture for Sciatica?
For many of our patients, acupuncture offers a safe, drug-free alternative to managing sciatica symptoms.
​
Here’s how it works:
​
-
Stimulates the nervous system to reduce inflammation
-
Improves blood flow to help with healing
-
Releases endorphins—your body’s natural painkillers
Relieves muscle tension from the compressed sciatic nerve
What to Expect During Your Treatment
After a thorough assessment, the doctor will use ultra-fine, sterile needles at specific sciatica acupuncture points, often along the lower back, glutes, and legs, to help relieve pressure and inflammation around the sciatic nerve.
Depending on the severity of your symptoms, and condition the doctor will go over a detailed treatment program to help you recover from your sciatic pain.
