New evidence supports the notion that acupuncture can help relieve pain.
Leg pain and disability associated with chronic sciatica were significantly relieved by treatment with acupuncture in a randomized clinical trial compared to treatment with sham, or placebo, acupuncture. Sciatica is a condition characterized by deep pain that occurs in the back and/or legs. It is the result of a compressed sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back to just below the knee.
Acupuncture was developed in China, with its earliest definitive appearance in the historical record occurring in 100 BCE, with hints of the conceptual system on which it is based dating back as far as 6,000 BCE.
The practice involves the shallow insertion of thin needles into the skin at key points in the human body. Acupuncture may help relieve painTrusted Source in sciatica by stimulating the release of “chemical messengers” that dampen pain responses, among other mechanisms.
