    Re: Sciatica

    Hi - I had acupuncture for sciatica on the NHS, but it may well depend where you live as to wether this treatment is available in your region. As to wether it works.......who knows! Good luck, and ask your GP if the NHS will do it.

    You can get referred for physio on NHS I assume - so if you can get referred to a physiotherapist who only really does accupunctuer you should be sorted.
