Is acupuncture an effective treatment for sciatica?
A systematic review and network meta-analysis published in the Spine Journal compare the clinical effectiveness of different treatment strategies (including acupuncture) for sciatica simultaneously.
Of 20 treatment strategies for sciatica, acupuncture was ranked as 2nd most effective after the use of biological agents, outperforming manipulation, epidurals, disc surgery, opioids, exercise, and an invasive procedure called radio-frequency denervation.
Healthcare continues evolving to less-invasive, natural, and drug-free methods, placing acupuncture as a first-line complementary healthcare choice.
