According to Chinese medicine, sciatica is typically caused by Qi and Blood stagnation along the Gallbladder or Bladder meridians. Other systems of medicine have different explanations for the pain, but TCM is very effective in relieving sciatica by relieving the Qi stagnation through many techniques including acupuncture, herbs, and tui-na medical massage.

Yoga is considered an energetic exercise method that maintains the free flow of Qi throughout the body, and with regular practice would likely clear up sciatica. Qigong exercises like Tai Qi might also be beneficial.
