Sciatica
How Long Does Sciatica Recovery Take?
Realistic sciatica recovery timelines with physiotherapy — and red flags that need urgent care.
Typical recovery windows
Acute sciatica from disc irritation often improves in 4–8 weeks with physiotherapy, nerve glides and core work. Chronic cases may need 3+ months. Cauda equina symptoms (bowel/bladder changes, saddle numbness) require emergency care — not waiting for physio.
