Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive treatment called Tecar therapy can reduce pain and improve movement in people with lumbar radiculopathy (nerve-related back and leg pain). 90 adults with this condition will be split into three groups: one getting standard physical therapy, one getting Tecar therapy plus standard care, and one getting a fake Tecar treatment. Researchers will measure pain, disability, and mobility over 12 weeks to see if Tecar offers extra benefits.
