Sciatica When Non-Surgical Treatment Has Not Improved Pain or Function

This protocol addresses adults with sciatica who have undergone non-surgical treatment without adequate improvement in pain or function, and whose radiological findings are consistent with their sciatic symptoms.

The structured regimen covers a surgical intervention directed at the spine — the criteria that must be met before it is considered, and what the evaluation requires, are set out in the full protocol.
