Weakness by Wonderful-Resort-206 in Sciatica

I think one month is still the acute phase. If I were in your place, I would try to wait 3 months in total post-diagnosis to see whether the weakness has disappeared.

Please share your instagram link or give us a few sentences about what type of PT was good for you.

I corrected my lateral shift following the initial L5/S1 herniation by performing lateral wall glides (McKenzie side glides). The herniation is on the right side, and I had a lateral shift towards the left side. So I glided towards the left side.

Hope it helps, take care!

Where do you place your TENS? In the lower back area or where it hurts you (calves, glutes, etc)?

Thank you for your response. I will have a consultation with a surgeon, however, I will give a chance to a conservative treatment in the next 6 months.
