Summary
This study tests whether adding a specific leg-rotation technique to standard physical therapy can better relieve sciatica caused by disc problems in the lower back. Researchers will measure pain, flexibility, and daily function in 70 adults aged 18 to 50. The goal is to see if this simple movement can open nerve passages and reduce leg pain.
