There are various treatment options for patients with acute sciatica. Choosing the best option should be tailored to the specific needs of the patient, and when possible, include early recommendation for physical therapy (PT). In this episode we review research on use of PT for treatment of sciatica and discuss how you can incorporate PT recommendations into patient care.
