Have you had it : Medically worked up? That is the first thing to do. Although acupuncture will not cure most underlying causes for sciatica - it can remarkably improve pain, inflammation, lympatic & blood circulation as well as range of motion. Take care.

Core Exercises: Typically core strengthening exercises are the best to help relieve pressure and forces in the spine. I would try and google some or look them up on youtube to see descriptions. If you can do them yourself, wonderful otherwise ask your doctor to get a referral to a good physical therapist for further assistance.
