The Truth About Sciatica: Why Numbness and Tingling Don’t Mean You’re Broken

In fact, most cases of sciatica improve with the right movement-based care.

The “Short Leg” Myth: Why It’s Not the Root of Your Pain

Being told one of your legs is “shorter” than the other might sound like a convincing reason for back or hip pain—but it’s not. Research shows small leg length differences are normal, have no link to pain, and yet people spend crazy amounts of money chasing lifts, inserts, and quick fixes that don’t work. The truth is, pain is more about how you move, load, and recover—not about millimeters of difference in your legs.

Spinal Manipulation for Back Pain: Helpful Tool or Overhyped?

Spinal manipulation can provide short-term relief for back pain — easing stiffness and helping you move more freely. But research shows it’s not a long-term solution on its own. The real key to lasting results lies in movement and education: building strength, improving mobility, and understanding your body. At Momentum Spine and Sport, we combine adjustments with active strategies that keep you in control of your health.

Does Your Lumbar MRI or X-ray Really Matter?

Did you know that most people with disc bulges, arthritis, or ‘degeneration’ on an MRI don’t actually have pain? In fact, these common findings are often just normal age-related changes—like wrinkles on the inside. The real danger isn’t what the scan shows, but how it makes you feel. Fear, worry, and avoiding movement can actually make back pain worse. At Momentum Spine and Sport, we help people move past the scary language of imaging and get back to living confidently—because pain doesn’t always equal damage.
