Symptom detail page — three layouts.

Three different ways to lay out a symptom page (using Sciatica as the example). Each opens with the symptom photo as a blurred background hero. Tell me which one — V1, V2, or V3 — and I'll wire it into all six symptom pages.

V1
Editorial magazine · numbered chapters Same family as the new Spine pages. Lead paragraph, numbered sections (01, 02, 03 …), with the Red-flag section visually separated as a warning card.

Sciatica / Leg Pain

A sharp pain travelling from the lower back, down through the buttock, and into one leg — sometimes all the way to the foot.

01

What it feels like

Sharp, electric pain that travels from the lower back through the buttock and down one leg — sometimes all the way to the foot.

Numbness, tingling, or a feeling of weakness in the affected leg.

Some describe a burning or crushing sensation along the nerve path; others get intermittent shooting pains that make standing or walking difficult.

02

Common triggers

  • Prolonged sitting, especially in soft chairs
  • Bending forward to lift
  • Sneezing or coughing (a sudden spike in pressure)
  • Long drives
  • Sitting on hard surfaces for extended periods

Red flags — seek help urgently

  • Loss of bladder or bowel control — this is a medical emergency
  • Weakness in the leg that is getting progressively worse
  • Numbness around the saddle area (inner thighs, groin)
  • Pain that follows a significant fall or trauma
03

What to expect at consultation

Mr. Rath will review your symptoms, examine the affected leg, and most often request an MRI scan. From there he will walk you through what the imaging shows, the likely cause, and the treatment options — from conservative care through to keyhole surgery if needed.

V2
Card grid · scannable beats Hero + four content panels (What it feels like, Triggers, Red flags, What to expect). Each panel is a card with an icon. Faster to scan, less reading, more visual structure.
