  hello , i have a nerve sciatic pain , which specialist should i contact please ?
  • Hi,
    
    For this type of pain, you can contact a osteopath or a physiotherapist. They are both usefull to treat the pain. However, if the compression of the sciatic nerve come from the back (from a hernia for example), these specialists may not be enough. In this cas, an orthopedist could give you an infiltration. But befort that, you should try the non-invasive treatment.
    
    I hope this was helpfull,

  Hello, my shoulder is about a few centimeters out of place since i landed on it strangely. My question is how serious this can be since I still have full range of motion although it does feel unstable in certain positions when I do sports and which doctor I need to see to put it back into place.
  • Hello,
    If you have full range of motion and you don't feel any pain, it is not that serious. If it was fully dislocated, you wouldn't be able to move it without a lot of pain. Although, if you feel it instable, my advice is to see a physiotherapist to reinforce your shoulder muscles and evoid the dislocation to happen again. Also, the doctor best able to give you advice for that kind of problem is an orthopedist.
