Is it sciatica? Or something else?

"Sciatica" is one of those words that gets used for almost any type of back and leg pain — but it actually means something quite specific.

In this blog I break down the difference between Sciatica and referred pain so you have more clarity and understanding about your symptoms.

Any questions?

Low back pain and leg pain are among the most common presentations I see at Evolve Osteopathy — and one of the most common sources of confusion is the difference between referred pain and true nerve pain. People often use the word "sciatica" to describe both, but they're not the same thing

Poor posture doesn't always cause pain — and pain isn't always caused by poor posture.

The research is shifting: it's often not the position you're in, it's how long you stay there without moving.

That said, when your body is better aligned and balanced, it functions better. And better function is what keeps pain from coming back.

At Evolve Osteopathy, every new consultation starts with a full postural assessment — not to chase "perfect" posture, but to understand your body's patterns and address the root causes.
Function first. Always. 🙌

Posture has long been blamed for back pain, neck tension, and headaches — but the picture is more nuanced than that. Research increasingly suggests it's less about the posture itself, and more about staying still for too long . Poor posture can absolutely be a predisposing and maintaining factor i...

🧠 It's Mental Health Awareness Week.

Did you know that stress can cause very real, very physical pain in your body?

Tight shoulders. A clenched jaw. Headaches that won't shift. A churning gut.

And for around 80% of patients with musculoskeletal pain, there's no clear structural cause. Which means something else is driving it.

I've written a full blog post this week breaking down exactly how stress affects your body — system by system — and what it means for your recovery.

If you've had treatment that keeps giving temporary relief but never quite holds, this might be the missing piece. 👇

If you are feeling stressed, anxious, low or can't sleep - we have all been there...

We all have times when we feel low, anxious or overwhelmed and it's not always easy to know what to do to feel better.

It is mental health awareness week and if you or someone you know is struggling offer support in anyway you can. You don't need to be an expert on mental health to offer support.

Often small, everyday actions can make the biggest difference.
