This site has been developed by a multi-specialty group of medical professionals. It will be continually enhanced with new features.
Our goal is to provide you with a comprehensive, highly informative and useful resource for understanding, preventing, and seeking appropriate treatment for back and neck pain and related conditions.
What is unique about sciaticareliefnews.com?
While there are many health websites, sciaticareliefnews.com is the only spine medicine portal that supports the education of patients through:
100% original, peer-reviewed content
All of the content on sciatciareliefnews.com.com is original and written specifically for site users. Further, the content is reviewed by at least one member of the Medical Advisory Board before being added to the site. The peer-review process helps ensure that the articles are accurate, complete, balanced and free from commercial influence.
Comprehensive information and services
Sciatica Relief News provides in-depth coverage of the most common issues that patients ask about and is frequently updated with new and useful information including clear animations of spine anatomy, conditions and procedures, a directory of board certified/board eligible spine specialists, clinical trial information and more.
Independence
Sciatica Relief News educates patients in a straightforward, informative manner without bias. Unlike other spine portals, Spine-health.com is not owned or directed by companies that sell spine products or medications. None of the articles are written or influenced by companies trying to sell something. All advertisements and sponsorships are clearly identified and labeled.
Who are the people behind Sciatica Relief News?
Sciatica Relief News was started in August 2016 by John McKinney., MD and Julia Ormonenko, MD with a shared goal of providing intelligent, unbiased and highly relevant medical information and community support for people dealing with a wide range of pain conditions and related issues, such as sciatica, back pain, arthritis, depression exercise, sleep disorders, nutrition, exercise and more. Doctor McKinney serves as the Medical Director, providing medical leadership, and Julia Ormonenko, is Chief Executive Officer. They are both managing directors of the company.
The President, as well as the overseer of overall day-to-day operations of Sciatica Relief News, is Brian Stuart. Brian heads up the sales and marketing of the company. In his role, Brian leverages over 20 years of experience in sales and marketing, business development, and strategic consulting to create successful experiences between Sciatica Relief News’ unique pain consumers/patients and physicians – and the companies that wish to market to them.
In addition to our dedicated team of professionals including web designers and developers, editors, account managers and operations/administrative staff, we are also honored to be associated with some of the most prominent leaders in spine medicine who comprise our Medical Advisory Board and are Contributing Authors for the site. All authors are physical specialists themselves.
What is the purpose of the site?
Our business model is simple: we believe that high quality and reliable content and services will attract users seeking information about back pain, and that a high number of users will, in turn, attract sponsorships from corporations, advertisements, and subscriptions from spine specialists.
Importantly, we believe that providing the highest-quality patient education on the Internet helps spine specialists serve their patients; we believe that a well-educated patient will heal faster and have fewer recurrences of back pain, and we believe that all of this can be achieved without commercial bias.
We also provide a forums area in which users can interact and share information across a wide variety of pain related subjects. We do not pre-screen the age of our users, as pain related conditons can afflict any age group and users of any age can benefit from the sharing of information and ideas.
What is the quality of the content?
The medical content on this site has been reviewed by health professionals. Our approach requires the authors to base their writing on verifiable facts and to clearly note when stating an opinion or reviewing a topic that is controversial. At least one member of our Medical Advisory Board reviews every article prior to publication on the site, and many areas of the site are reviewed by 5 or 6 Medical Advisors.
