Dr Karan Explores · Is Your Back Pain All In Your Head? The Surprising Science of Healing Pain - Dr Anisha Joshi · 6 Jul 2026 podcast

And a lot of people are diagnosed with sciatica, you know, you know, up to forty percent of people might experience it at some point in their lives. matched

What exactly is sciatica? matched

And do you feel, given the number of people who are matched

are potentially diagnosed with it, is it overdiagnosed? matched

yeah matched

Now, I think in medicine people have the tendency to separate all body systems and organs into different discrete buckets. matched

But what we're understanding is that there's so many body parts which communicate with each other via different axes and it's a domino effect. matched

Something higher up the chain can affect something lower, vice versa. matched

so many other things which can happen. matched

And I guess the back is not too dissimilar to all those things, where there's so many other components, as we mentioned before, stress and back or pain, MSK pain. matched

Breathing as well can have a significant impact because breathing can affect stress levels, how you breathe. matched

Breathing can also affect your posture. matched

So it stands to reason if breathing can affect those two things, stress and posture can also have an impact on your back, but m you know, joint pain in general. matched

So what is the role of breathing in pain, but specifically back pain? matched

after one session. matched

Yeah, th I would I would concur that perhaps the role of breathwork here is perhaps slightly less mechanical and more neurological in the sense that can it matched

trigger the vagus nerve and improve vagal tone. matched

And obviously the vagus nerve is the largest nerve running through your body and can have a role to play in stress relief and just general body relaxation. matched

So maybe it's something to do with that. matched

I guess there's also a placebo effect component there as well. matched
