Is Acupuncture Effective In The Treatment Of Sciatica?
I have been suffering from sciatica, osteoarthritis, bursitis and other back problems for the past six months and have not had relief from Celebrex or physical therapy. Is acupuncture something to pursue? I am a 93 year old female who has been active and in good health until recently. I would prefer to avoid more strong medications unless there is no other way to deal with this condition. This is something that is intermittent and sometimes very painful.
