Inclusion Criteria: * chronic (≥ 3 months) unilateral Lumbosacral Radiculopathy (LSR) * The LSR is due to paracentral L4-L5 or L5-S1 Lumbar disc herniation * The LSR is confirmed radiologically by MRI * The LSR is confirmed clinically by history and physical examination * The LSR is confirmed neurophysiological by soleus H-reflex assessment * Body mass Index less than 30 * 20-45 years of age Exclusion Criteria: * systematic disease * Bilateral symptoms * Lumbar spinal stenosis * previous surgery * Steroid injection * Spinal fracture * Lumbar spinal stenosis * Spinal deformity * Spinal fracture * Radiological evidence of bilateral nerve root encroachmen * Evidence of H-reflex amplitude or latency affection on asymptomatic side
