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?

Q: 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?
