New back-to-basics youtube video

Plus some sciatica 101 links

Thanks for reading the 70th edition of my newsletter. This newsletter tracks my work on lumbar nerve root syndromes aka sciatica.

Hi everyone,

Last week I recorded a Youtube video with James Armstrong, which I think ended up being a pretty good intro to sciatica and CES. Here’s the link.

I think I’ve picked up a lot of subscribers lately who are new to this stuff. The video above should help, and I also recommend the following links, too:

• Important paper by Bogduk (2009)

• Terminology time

• Downloadable intro zine [free]

• *That* nylon thread study

• E3 Rehab video

• So, uh, what is cauda equina syndrome?

• 10 papers to get started with cauda equina syndrome

As a brief update on my work - I’m trying to find a way to get going with the third book, which would be on the treatment/management of radicular pain. I’ve been itching to start the book for a long time, and my daughters have recently started preschool which means I finally have a little bit of discretionary time to write it. I think the project will have to be pre-funded this time, likely by presales. I’m hoping to rope in some coauthors, too. As always, the goal is help you as much as possible with your clinical practice. Watch this space!

Til next time,

Tom
