Electroacupuncture, a more modern form of acupuncture where a light electric current is passed into the needles, has also been proven effective in treating sciatic due to increased levels of circulation for healing pain. In the clinical study, electroacupuncture had a 90% total effective rate at reducing pain caused by sciatica pain.
