“My MRI came back clear… so why do I still have sciatica?” 🤔
We hear this all the time.
The truth is - MRIs show structure, not function.
You can still have nerve irritation without anything being “crushed” or “damaged” on the scan.
Think of your sciatic nerve like a tightened rope - if it’s pulled, twisted, or under tension, it’ll cause pain even if nothing’s torn.
That’s why at Maple Clinics, we look beyond the picture - we assess how your spine and nervous system are actually working.
Because structure matters, but function tells the real story. 🍁
