Can dry needling help treat sciatica?

Yes! Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, from the lower back, through your hips and glutes down one or both legs. Sciatica is most commonly caused by a herniated disk or narrowing of the spine that compresses part of the nerve.

The pain can vary from a mild ache to a sharp, burning sensation that runs down your leg. Sometimes it can feel like a jolt or electric shock and it usually only affects one side of your body.
