Sciatica that
won't stop radiating.
It runs from the back or glute down your leg: sharp, burning, or heavy and numb. You've been told it's a disc. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

It started somewhere else.
You can't predict when it will flare. Sitting through a meal, a meeting, or a drive becomes an endurance test, and you've reorganized your day around it.
Two methods targeting every layer of sciatic pain.
We identify whether your sciatica comes from the disc, the muscles, or both, and treat accordingly.
Calms nerve inflammation and resets the pain signal
Calms the inflammation along the sciatic nerve and turns down the amplified pain signal. Restores circulation to the compressed tissue in the low back and glutes.
Releases the muscles compressing or mimicking the nerve.
Sciatic pain is often driven by the piriformis, gluteus minimus, gluteus medius, and deep low back muscles. Dry needling reaches these muscles directly and releases the compression on the nerve, or the trigger points that mimic it.
One releases the pattern.
The other keeps it from coming back.
A meta-analysis of 1,842 patients found acupuncture significantly more effective than conventional medicine for sciatica, with fewer side effects.

Common questions about sciatica treatment.
Yes. Even with a confirmed herniation, trigger points in the piriformis, gluteus minimus, and low back muscles often account for much of the pain. Acupuncture calms the nerve inflammation; dry needling releases the muscular compression. Many patients with confirmed herniations find significant relief.
No. It’s a good sign. Intermittent sciatica means the nerve isn’t constantly compressed; the irritation is triggered by specific positions and muscle tension, which usually means the problem is muscular and responds well to treatment. The risk of waiting is that each flare reinforces the pattern, and episodes become more frequent and harder to resolve.
Acute sciatica that’s been present for weeks typically shows meaningful improvement within 2–3 visits. Chronic sciatica that’s been recurring for months or years takes longer because the compensation patterns are deeper, but most patients still notice a shift in the first few sessions.
Sitting compresses the very structures that irritate the sciatic nerve: the discs load more in sitting than standing, and the deep gluteal muscles the nerve passes through are pinned against the chair. If your pain builds with sitting and eases when you walk, that pattern itself is diagnostic information.
A tight hamstring stays a short, stiff muscle in the back of the thigh. Sciatica travels: it runs from the low back or buttock down the leg, often burning, tingling, or numb, and stretching tends to provoke it. If months of hamstring stretching have changed nothing, the hamstring was probably never the problem.
