I am a 55 year old female and had dry needling on my neck muscles when dealing with cervical stenosis and myelopathy/radiculopathy. I personally did not like it and it was very uncomfortable. It did not seem to make my symptoms any better. I also have lumbar stenosis, degenerative disc disease, sciatica and neurogenic claudication. I was never suggested to get dry needling for sciatica. I had PT and massage to try to stretch, strengthen and relax surrounding muscles. You may want to research more about whether dry needling does much long term to address sciatic nerve pain/entrapment.

I have had 3 sessions for severe sciatica. Helps temporarily but no lasting relief
