How many acupuncture treatments are needed for sciatica?
Hello, Thank you for your inquiry. It is hard to say exactly without knowing the duration and severity of what’s going on. As a general rule of thumb, I advise people to give it at least 3-6 treatments before they start seeing good results, though it can and often does happen quicker than that. After doing the intake during the initial consultation, I’d be able to give you a more concrete treatment plan. Hope that helps! Dr. Raegan K. Lima, D.T.C.M., L.Ac. READ MORE

Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine and a key component of Traditional Oriental Medicine. It is a technique in which thin needles are inserted into the body and in some cases, electro-stimulation is applied to gently stimulate particular regions of the body. Acupuncture is also used to maintain general health and well-being. Acupuncturists treat a variety of physical and psychological issues, such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, pain, digestive disorders, and infertility.
