Frequently Asked Questions

How long does sciatica take to improve with physiotherapy?

The recovery time for sciatica varies depending on the severity of the nerve compression. Mild cases often show significant improvement within 4 to 8 weeks of consistent physiotherapy. Severe or chronic cases may take longer. Your physiotherapist will design a customized treatment plan to help you recover safely and effectively.

Will I need a scan?

Not always. Imaging is only arranged where your clinician feels it is likely to inform your treatment planning.

Can this be managed without surgery or injections?

Many patients improve through physiotherapy, rehabilitation and gradual return to activity. Your clinician will discuss all appropriate treatment options during your assessment.
