Nuts and bolts for sciatica

A toolkit and a shared language for sciatica.

A new toolkit for sciatica:

I’m populating the site in two installments. The first installment—mostly anatomy, pathology and assessment—is up now, and ready to help you in clinic:

As you’ll see, Nuts and Bolts for Sciatica is like a toolkit of mental models, mnemonics, and useful stories and perspectives. Each one is small and self-contained - like nuts and bolts you can use in clinic, or pass to a colleague.

Crucially, everything in it is distilled and made easy to remember and to share with others. The goal is to give us a ‘shared language’ of sciatica.

I expect to release the second installment in the Spring.

Happy new year!

P.S. The Sciatica Guide - the leaflet you can hand to patients, which I have mentioned in previous emails - is in final testing.
