Interstitial cystitis is one of the most complex conditions we treat—so what’s the missing piece?

In this Missing Piece episode from the Rising Vault, we’re breaking down one of the most overlooked contributors to IC:

💡 Neural tension of the sciatic nerve.

With interstitial cystitis, there are so many possible contributing factors—superficial pelvic floor muscles, constipation, urachus, inner thighs, ischiorectal fascia, even the calves.

But time and time again, we come back to the sciatic nerve and its major role in urinary urgency, frequency, and IC symptoms.

In this episode, we discuss:
 ✅ Why sciatic nerve tension can drive bladder symptoms
✅ How to evaluate neural tension in IC patients
✅ How addressing neural tension can transform your IC treatment approach

If you’re treating interstitial cystitis patients and not assessing neural tension, you could be missing a major factor in their symptoms.
