Sciatica: Acupuncture vs Massage Therapy?

I would not do any massage, go to a chiropractor or physical therapy and unfortunately, your martial arts, at least for awhile. I have just come from the hospital on Friday after the implant of a spinal cord stimulator for 15 years of chronic severe pain and numbness of the sciatic nerve. You have damaged yours and it's not going to get any better unless you have an MRI test and see a neuro surgeon.
