Symptoms to discuss
This information does not replace a medical diagnosis. Treatment goals and duration depend on an individual assessment.
Understanding the approach
Symptoms guide the pace of rehabilitation
The intensity of leg pain does not by itself determine the severity of a condition. Distribution, strength, sensation and changes over time all matter.
Progressive exercise and education may help common sciatica, while increasing weakness, saddle numbness or bladder and bowel changes require urgent medical assessment.
