In this episode, Dr. Ashley addresses the complex relationship between weight loss and sciatica pain. Many patients believe that losing weight will alleviate their pain, but this episode explores the nuances of body weight, body composition, and the importance of movement. Ashley emphasizes that while losing weight can have health benefits, it may not directly correlate with pain relief. The discussion includes strategies for managing sciatica pain, the significance of maintaining an active lifestyle, and the need for a deeper understanding of one's body mechanics.
