Modern Non-Surgical & Integrative Treatment Options

Many patients experience significant improvement with non-surgical, evidence-based care, especially when treatment is tailored to the specific spinal level or nerve involved.

Physical Therapy & Functional Rehabilitation

Physical therapy focuses on:

• Improving strength, flexibility, and balance
• Reducing nerve irritation
• Correcting posture and movement patterns
• Supporting long-term spine and joint health

Therapy programs are individualized based on symptoms, activity level, and imaging findings.

Interventional Pain Management

When inflammation or nerve compression contributes to leg pain, image-guided injections may help:

• Reduce swelling around affected nerves
• Improve pain control
• Allow greater participation in rehabilitation

Movement & Postural Guidance

Simple changes in daily movement and posture—such as proper sitting position, avoiding prolonged leg crossing, and alternating stance during standing—may help reduce strain on the spine and nerves when combined with medical care.

Complementary approaches such as guided stretching or relaxation techniques may also support recovery when appropriate.

When to Consider Advanced Treatment

If leg pain, numbness, or weakness persists despite conservative care—or interferes with walking, balance, or daily function—further evaluation may be required. In select cases, minimally invasive procedures or surgical treatment may be recommended to relieve nerve compression and prevent progression.

All treatment decisions are made carefully, with an emphasis on safety, effectiveness, and preserving mobility.
