I had one completed just for a class I attended. The acupuncture needle is way thinner than the ones you see even in the smallest syringes. It does not harm, you will just be shocked when it actually hits you. I felt a small numbness in the location but when the acupuncturist rotated the needle I felt a slight gnawing pain, The ache is tolerable and just like a persistent insect bite. The acupuncturist I went to also has an MD, numerous of his patient stated that it aid them with their illness (primarily are complaining of neuropathic ache). It took them close to 3 sessions before they discover a difference. How much is acupuncture and how considerably is placebo...I'm not positive. There's no harm in going to a certified acupuncturist.

Justin C,
Acupuncture needles can sometimes hurt, just as anything that penetrates the skin can. Generally, if there is any pain it fades away very quickly. You should let your acupuncturist know if the pain is sharp, or burning, and persistent so that they can adjust the needle.
Acupuncture is very effective at treating sciatica pain, and it is one of the most common things many acupuncturists treat. Usually, it does require more than one treatment to get lasting results. Acupuncture is a therapy process, and, like any therapy process, it takes some time and repetition to “set” the intended results.
Good luck, and maybe comment in this question about how it goes.
It doesn’t need to be painful. Ask the acupunturist to use small needles. Here’s some more advice from people who have gotten acupunture: http://www.healthangle.com/procedures/acupuncture
