You did everything right. You explained it clearly.

But by follow-up, the same doubts and myths are back:

"The pain got worse, did my disc slip out again?"

"I know you said to do this exercise, but I feel like it'll make things worse."

You nod and start over: rebuild trust, re-explain, re-set expectations.

The problem is this: the moment the clinic door closes, your patient enters the between-appointments gap. If you see your patients once a week, that's 167 hours. 167 hours when the information environment (YouTube and TikTok, well-meaning friends and coworkers) works against everything you've built together.

The result is patients who come back with fresh doubts.

"I heard you can only fix a disc herniation with surgery?"

"How can you know what to do without an MRI?"

Sometimes, it can feel like a losing battle.

But you do win sometimes. You say just the right thing at just the right time, and your patients make it through the between-appointments gap. They come back calm, clear, and moving in the right direction.

"Do you think it's time to start walking more?"

"It's better than it was last week, the nerve is calming down."

"I keep thinking about that MRI but I know it's healing."

It's a great feeling when you and your patient share an understanding of what's happening and what to expect.

But those moments depend on catching lightning in a bottle.

The Sciatica Guide is designed to make those wins less dependent on luck. It acts as your stand-in during the between-appointments gap.

It's a 20-page illustrated booklet and accompanying webpage, personalised with your name. It covers the questions and fears that tend to fill the 167-hour gap.

You hand them the Guide and say, "Read this. It'll answer most questions you have until I see you next." It reinforces everything you've said, and covers things you didn't have time to get to.

That means fewer follow-ups spent rebuilding from scratch, and more where your patient walks in already moving in the right direction.

On purchase, you receive a link to a personalised site you can share with patients, and a PDF of a the Guide that you can print and fold into an A5 booklet whenever you like (no need to order new boxes when they run out).

Hand your next sciatica patient The Sciatica Guide, and help them through the between-appointments gap.

Two-week launch window. Founding price for early buyers.

I’m keeping this initial release open for two weeks so I can focus on onboarding and early feedback. The current founding price is available during this launch only. After that, the guide will close and return later at a higher price.

FAQ

One or both of:

1) Print it and fold it into a booklet. This is straightforward on an auto-double-sided printer.

2) Send them a link or ask them to scan a QR code so they can visit the webpage. There, they can read the Guide online (or print and fold their own).

You own the PDF of the Guide, so you can use it as often as you like in perpetuity.

No. Part of the problem with generic handouts is that they have to be for everyone, so they end up being for no-one. The Sciatica Guide has a cartoon style that works well for most patients but might not work for a minority who prefer something more formal.

The Guide sticks to treatment principles, and does not recommend any specific kind of exercise or manual therapy. This means it will likely fit in with your style of practice.

You enter your name or clinic name and it appears on everything your patient sees - webpage, PDF and paper copies.

Why The Sciatica Guide beats what you're trying now

You might already be trying something to help guide your patients through the between-appointments gap.

Handouts, maybe. They usually have good information, but by necessity they're cold and generic. And they're not helping when they're crumpled at the bottom of a handbag.

By contrast, The Sciatica Guide is vivid and personable (stamped with your name, in fact). It sits on the kitchen table; it's there during that 2am flare-up moment of doubt.

YouTube videos are another way people try to bridge the between-appointments gap. There are some good ones, but they're fragments of advice, not guides. And they feed our patients to the algorithm, which is often the problem in the first place.

The Sciatica Guide sticks to your story, leading your patient back to their follow-up (no sidebar, no autoplay).

The biggest thing we do to guide our patients through the between-appointments gap is the work we do in clinic: build rapport, improve our explanations.

We're really good at this, but it all stops, and begins to fade, as soon as the clinic door closes.

The Sciatica Guide continues your hard work, as your ambassador in the outside world.

"Unfortunately we're out of time, but please take this Guide home. It will answer a lot of the questions we didn't have time for."

What the Guide teaches your patients:

  • How to make sense of their symptoms.

  • How long it might last, and to prepare for flare-ups

  • The role of injections, surgery and MRI

  • How to keep moving and stay in control.

  • Reassuring info on disc herniations, bending and lifting.

  • Red flag symptoms: when to worry and when to relax.
