After helping 100’s of people who suffer from painful sciatica and battling it myself when I was younger…By Ian Hart, CSCS
I can you tell there’s probably no more aggravating form of back pain.
Sometimes you can’t sit. Sometimes you can’t stand. Sometimes you can’t walk or drive. Or even lie in bed.

The pain is simply wretched.
A couple of days ago, someone came into our clinic on her hands and knees. It was the only way she could find relief.

She was in tears. The pain radiating down her legs was unbearable.
She actually inspired today’s article. Today I’m going to tell you what I told her…
Every week in fact, my clinics and programs are a destination for people from all walks of life who suffer from sciatica.
The first thing you should appreciate is sciatica is not a disease. That’s right.
Allow me to be clear about this, because it’s important:
“Sciatica” is not a diagnosis.

If you’re seeing a doctor and they’re telling you that’s what you have, you’re not being told the whole truth.
(I have doctors who are in pain visit my clinics, so I know.)
Let’s put it this way:
Sciatica is a symptom. The doctor is only labeling a symptom. They’re not telling you what is actually wrong!
Now when they put a label your pain, I totally get how good that makes you feel in the moment.

What happens next?
They prescribe some heavy duty Ibuprofen to calm the inflammation, maybe ship you off to a physical therapist, and then they’re onto the next patient.
And you already know how that works, don’t we?
Let’s face it:
The Reality is a Lot of Doctors Fail to Fix Their Sciatica Patients
They return repeatedly with the same pain, the same issue, the same cry for help.
The doctor eventually begins to wonder whether the patient even wants to get better.
Imagine that! It doesn’t quite occur to them it could be the treatment that’s not working..
And that’s because their “Sciatica” diagnosis just becomes an easy way of sending the patient home happy.
For the record…

Sciatica is the term that describes symptoms of pain that begins in the lower back and extends down through your butt, thigh, and sometimes as far as your foot.
Mostly likely, that tingling or painful sensation going down your leg is caused upstream in your spine… such as:
- Irritating, compressing or pinching degenerative disc disease causing vertebra to hit a nerve.
- A facet joint at the back of a vertebra which is out of alignment.
- A strained back muscle spasming and painfully squeezing a nearby nerve or nerve sheathe.

Multiply these issues by the number of vertebrae and muscles in the back and…
You can start to appreciate how much work it can be diagnosed the problem accurately. Even with new technology such as MRIs.
Which is why most doctors feel they’re doing the best they can given the resources available.
That’s why I prefer to take a more self-directed, holistic approach to addressing sciatica.
So… How Do We Fix the Pain and Numbness?
Recently, a young mother came into my clinic. Even after years of chiropractic treatment, for some reason, she still suffered with sciatica.
Actually, I was rather shocked.
To think if a young mom can be dealt a crippling back pain blow, what does this say about the rest of us?

Here’s Patty’s inspiring story in her own words. I think it’ll inspire hope if you’re also suffering…
How did we help Patty? Or maybe more aptly, how did Patty help herself?
She did 8 specific movements…
These 8 movements are totally unlike “the sheets” of exercises you get from chiropractors or doctors.

Instead, we “wake up” certain muscles and restore muscle balance. That’s key.
Then in certain areas of her back, we jump-started pathways so vital oxygen and nutrition could get in and help her heal.
That’s the holistic way to relieve sciatica.

It’s not uncommon, but in Patty’s case, it took just a couple sessions.
A couple sessions and she was completely out of pain.
Yes, there are ways to get out of pain. They don’t require medication, surgery or injections. They don’t require months of physiotherapy.
You just have to restore your body’s natural functional movement and muscle balance and allow it to heal naturally.
