Suffering with severe sciatica i tried acupuncture for the 1st time an hour ago! I feel brilliant, that sickly pain has subsided and the herbal plasters applied are giving me a lovely warm feeling down my back. I was in for 45 minutes and the cost was minimal. Cheaper than 4 large dominoes pizza's. If you suffer with back pain i would reccommend here 1st before wasting money on other remedies that do not work! (Ive tried everyone of them)
