sciatica acupuncture? Did you ever get acupuncture if you have had back pain? Do they use muscle stimulator with both hands because that's what my acupuntrist done with me. I thought they inserted needles and do not use pacemakers. It felt weird and I feel bad today and still have back pain, but I guess I have to be patient.

The electro-stimulation is generally applied to the needles to treat back pain. People generally feel a slight to moderate nagging feeling that corresponds to electrical impulses, which may feel a bit strange at first.
It is possible that the electro-stimulation is too strong, or too simple for your first treatment. At your next appointment should let the acupuncturist know if the location of pain is different, how the quality of pain has changed, and how you felt during the treatment with electro-stimulation.
It is absolutely necessary, and my patients are always encouraged to give me your comments on aspects of their treatment. Your acupuncturist should know next appointment.
