Non-Surgical Management of Chronic Sciatica

A 34-year-old working professional arrived with debilitating sciatica caused by a herniated lumbar disc, preventing them from sitting or working at their desk. The patient was initially recommended surgery elsewhere but wanted a conservative, non-surgical approach. We designed a comprehensive 12-week recovery plan involving targeted spinal decompression therapy and biomechanical correction. The patient saw significant improvement by week 4 and returned to work full-time by week 10 without needing surgical intervention.
