Sciatica

Sciatica is a medical condition characterised by pain going down the leg from the lower back.[1] This pain may go down the back, outside, or front of the leg.[3] Onset is often sudden following activities like heavy lifting, though gradual onset may also occur.[5] Typically, symptoms are only on one side of the body.[3] Certain causes, however, may result in pain on both sides.[3] Lower back pain is sometimes but not always present.[3] Weakness or numbness may occur in various parts of the affected leg and foot.[3]

This is a great little thought-provoking post about the way we/clients perceive pain and the effect that can have on how that pain is felt in the long term.

1/9/2019

Thus, millions of surgeries for knee, shoulder, and back pain have been done without studies to confirm they actually work. Recently, research has found that many popular surgeries (but not all) work no better than a placebo. And yet these surgeries are still done at the rate of hundreds of thousands per year.

I love blogs that get you to think about the way we and other professions in our industry work. I would love to hear what you think of this one.

When we look at discs exercise does not affect them adversely and they respond well to long term loading strategies.
