FAQ
Do I need MRI for sciatica?
Not always. MRI is used when symptoms persist, worsen, or show neurological red flags.
What is the best treatment for sciatica?
It depends on the nerve symptoms, weakness, scan findings, and daily limitation. Many cases improve with medicines, guided physiotherapy, and activity changes, while selected cases need injection or surgery discussion.
When is surgery needed for sciatica?
Surgery is considered when leg pain remains severe despite proper non-surgical care, scan findings match the symptoms, or weakness is significant or worsening.
How long does sciatica take to heal?
Many patients improve over weeks with the right plan, but timing depends on the disc problem, nerve irritation, weakness, work demands, and response to treatment.
Can sciatica return?
Yes, it can return. Regular strength work, sensible lifting, sitting breaks, and weight/load management can reduce the risk, but recurrence cannot be ruled out completely.
Is walking good for sciatica?
Gentle walking is often useful after assessment, but activity levels should be tailored to your nerve symptoms, weakness, pain severity, and diagnosis.
What if my leg feels weak?
Seek urgent evaluation if you notice significant weakness or loss of bladder control.
