A member asked:
Does the contact between the s1 nerve and the nerve root disappear after undergoing physical therapy or receiving an epidural steroid injection when the herniated disc starts to feel better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No it does not. Physiotherapy helps with the functional strength of the area it is for. Steroid injection is to reduce inflammation
