Lumbosacral radiculopathy is relatively common, and most cases resolve with
appropriate conservative management. Along with pain control, the mainstay of
treatment is a comprehensive rehabilitation program to correct for biomechanical
factors that adversely affect spinal stability and predispose the patient to
recurrent pain. Developing an appropriate treatment plan depends on thorough
understanding of the structures providing core stability and the exercises to
correct identifiable deficits. A comprehensive rehabilitation program includes
postural training, muscle reactivation, correction of flexibility and strength
deficits, and subsequent progression to functional exercises. This article
reviews the current concepts regarding core stability and rehabilitation in
lumbosacral radiculopathy.
