Leg Weakness Caused By Sciatica- Will Strengthening Help?!

In this video, I help you determine what's causing the weakness that you feel in your leg if you're dealing with back, butt or sciatic nerve (sciatica) issues. And then, I help answer the question of whether or not you should strengthen the weakness caused by a pinched nerve or lumbar radiculopathy. I include simple self strength tests, simple ways to measure strength, and help you understand where to focus your efforts if you're dealing with weakness from lumbar radiculopathy.

Leg weakness may result from lumbar radiculopathy- which is characterized by LOSS of nerve conduction due to compression of the nerve roots within the spine.

The most common level of lumbar radiculopathy is L5, followed by S1, then L4. When people with leg pain, numbness, and tingling (sciatica symptoms) experience weakness- the first instinct is to strengthen the areas that are weak.

But, without diving deeper to determine what's causing the weakness, or if the weakness is objective... then strengthening a feeling of weakness could be a waste of time or make you worse.
