Hi there,
I found many interesting info about sciatica here: http://curesciatica.toptips.org
While looking for a miracle cure, it has to be understood that sciatica pain in itself is not a disease. It is actually a symptom or a group of symptoms with an underlying cause that needs to be targeted if some sort of permanent pain relief is what one is looking for. But one thing is absolutely clear. Incorporating a few exercises that have a beneficial effect on sciatica pain in daily regime is of great help and whether a patient is taking drugs or not, these exercises ensure that his muscles are kept in a toned condition that lessen any flare up of pain. Just a few stretching exercises can bring about a drastic change in the levels of pain and signify the importance of exercise in the management of sciatica pain.
Cheers ;)

well i can't say yes and i can't say no, for some people it seems to work, but as sciatica usually stems from the sciatic nerve being trapped i would have thought a chiropractor would be a better bet, i can only speak for myself by saying i am currently receiving acupuncture for muscular pain spasms caused by arthritis in my lower back and neck, and that works for me, i have this once a week for six weeks, and then a course of spinal nerve block injections, which give me pain relief for about 2 months at a time, best thing to do would be to discuss things with your GP, and if you're in the UK ask to be referred to a pain management clinic in your area, they are a huge help and specialise in this field.

It's like everything else it works for some and not for others. It didn't work for me neither did the operation I was one of the unlucky ones, but there was a girl in at the same time for the same operation and she was 100% after the op. Try different pain management techniques though before you even go down the lines of an op. Best of luck

Well it didn't for me, unfortunately. I tried everything. Eventually i was operated on to release the sciatic nerve which was trapped. It literally was get up and walk after the op, it was amazing.....:)

Yes. It worked wonders on my grandfather. He was actually able to walk so much better after it.

I suggest a chiropractor or clinical massage therapy. Both have worked for me.

I found it worked for me but my doctor wanted me to come every week and I don't have insurance now to cover it.
