-
Yes. In a 216-patient, sham-controlled trial published in JAMA Internal Medicine, acupuncture reduced leg pain and disability more than sham acupuncture, with benefits still measurable one year later. Your treatment is tailored to where your symptoms travel, how they feel, and how they affect your daily life.
-
Acupuncture uses thin needles placed at specific points based on your symptoms and pain pattern. Treatment is designed to reduce pain, ease muscle tension, and help calm the irritation associated with sciatica.
-
Needle placement varies from person to person. Depending on your symptoms, points may be selected around the lower back, hip, gluteal area, leg, ankle, or other areas connected to your individual pain pattern.
-
Most people feel little to no discomfort when the needles are inserted. You may notice mild pressure, warmth, heaviness, or a brief tingling sensation during treatment, but the experience is generally well tolerated.
-
There isn’t one treatment schedule that fits everyone. The number and frequency of visits depend on how long you’ve had symptoms, their severity, how they affect you, and how you respond to treatment. Your acupuncturist will recommend a plan based on your individual needs.
-
Yes. When appropriate, acupuncture and chiropractic can be part of the same overall care plan. Acupuncture can address pain, muscle tension, and nerve-related discomfort, while chiropractic care focuses on movement and spinal function.
-
Coverage varies by insurance plan and benefits. We can verify your acupuncture benefits before your visit so you know what your plan covers.
