⭐️ An umbrella term for pain coming from the sciatic nerve.
Usually a term used to describe leg pain of a nerve origin where there are changes in nerve function along with back pain.

⭐️ Occurs via compression or chemical irritation of the nerve.

Types of pain experienced…..
Radicular - pain related to the nerve root
Radiculopathy - refers to the nerves function (sensation, strength, reflexes)

Sciatica tends to be a mixture of both the above.

Do you even have sciatica?
✅ Leg pain is worse than back pain
✅ Sensory changes such as parasthesia
✅ Leg pain below the knee
✅ Reflex change or weakness

Luckily sciatica has a favorable natural history where a study shows that 75% of people with sciatica were better, mostly better or completely recovered at 12 weeks (SCOPIC trial 2020).

💪🏼 Here are some exercises I tend to give to patients with sciatica. These exercises need to be tailored for the patient as you don’t want to excessively p*^s off the symptoms.

1️⃣ Lumbar decompression
2️⃣ Step assisted leg swings
3️⃣ Supine knees to chest (with rocks)
4️⃣ Prone lumbar extensions

🦠 What slows down your healing? 🦠

⭐️ If someone says they can significantly speed up your healing, don’t believe them. There is an element of biology which can’t be sped up.
What you can do is create the best environment possible to limit the slowing or delay of healing ⭐️

A sign where the scapular (shoulder blade) sticks out and mimics the resemblance of a birds wing.

📝 I’ve recently had several cases in clinic where there was an obvious sign of scapular winging on assessment.
I thought it would be relevant to go over the causes, signs/symptoms, assessment and treatment/home advice.

And how Chiropractic care can help!

Ever feel sharp pain radiating from your neck to your shoulder, arm, or hand? You might have Cervical Radiculopathy — a pinched nerve in the neck.

👉 What is it?
A nerve root in the cervical spine gets compressed or inflamed, often from a herniated disc, bone spurs, or degenerative disc disease.

🛑 Common Symptoms:
✔ Neck pain/stiffness
✔ Radiating arm pain
✔ Numbness or tingling
✔ Weakness in shoulder or hand

🌿 How Chiropractic Can Help:
Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, drug-free approach that may help reduce nerve pressure and restore movement.
✅ Spinal adjustments
✅ Posture + mobility work
✅ Targeted rehab exercises
✅ Ergonomic advice

📚 What the research says:
📖 A 2012 systematic review found spinal manipulation to be effective for cervical radiculopathy symptoms, especially when combined with exercise.
📖 The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (2016) reported improvements in pain and function with conservative chiropractic care.
📖 The American College of Physicians recommends non-pharmacologic therapies like spinal manipulation for neck-related conditions (Qaseem et al., 2017).

🙌 Early care = better recovery outcomes! Don’t wait for the pain to worsen.
