Where is the pressure point for sciatica?

Interestingly, acupressure, a form of acupuncture, applies pressure to the Yao Yang Guan acupuncture point to relieve acute sciatica pain and low back pain [26],[27]. This acupuncture point is below the spinous process of the fourth lumbar vertebrae, where the sciatic nerve branches out from the spinal cord.
