Confidentiality and personal information
A general website form is not the appropriate place to transmit a complete clinical file. Limit your message to essential information and use the secure channel indicated by TAGMED Clinic for any patient-related communication.
- Purpose: explain why the information is requested and how it will be used.
- Minimization: do not collect more information than necessary.
- Access: limit access to those responsible for responding.
- Conservation : apply a duration appropriate to the pattern and legal requirements.
- Rights : allow requests for access, correction, or deletion when provided by law.
Report an error or suggest a correction
Documented corrections improve the reliability of the site. A complete editorial request allows for verification of the issue without guessing the relevant page or version.
- Identify : copy the exact URL and title of the page.
- Locate : briefly mention the heading or relevant passage.
- Explain : describe the factual, terminological, grammatical, or technical error.
- Document : provide a recommendation, review, public agency, or another relevant primary source.
- Suggest : propose a more accurate wording without requesting a therapeutic promise.
How requests should be processed
Reception
The reason and response details are verified without turning the message into a clinical file.
Direction
A request intended for the clinic is redirected to the appropriate channel rather than treated as an editorial query.
Verification
A correction is compared to the published text, its date, and relevant sources.
Response or update
The response confirms the possible follow-up; a page is only modified after human validation.
Examples of acceptable requests
Factual error
A date, link, definition, address, or scientific data appears incorrect or outdated.
Broken link or display
A button doesn’t work, an image doesn’t load, or a page becomes difficult to use on mobile.
Accessibility
A contrast, an alternative text, a reading order, or a control prevents access to the content.
Translation
An English or French version contains a meaning error, an incomplete sentence, or a link to the wrong language.
Personal data
You wish to understand, correct, or request the removal of information about you.
Reuse
You are requesting permission to cite, reproduce, or adapt a diagram, an image, or part of the content.
Frequently asked questions on the contact page
Can I describe my symptoms in the form?
Limit yourself to a general question and do not provide a detailed history. SOS Sciatique cannot confirm a diagnosis or provide personalized treatment via message.
Where should I make an appointment?
Use the Make an appointment page or the official TAGMED Clinic portal. The editorial form is not a booking system.
Can I send my MRI report?
No, not in the general form. Ask the clinic directly what secure means to use to send or present a report.
Is the form suitable for an emergency?
No. Call 911 or go to the emergency room for serious neurological signs or a concerning general condition.
How to report a mistake or an outdated source?
Please provide the URL, the passage, the proposed correction, and a reliable source. Choose the reason “editorial correction” in the form.
Will I receive a medical response?
No. A response may explain the site’s content or direct you to a resource, but it does not constitute a consultation, diagnosis, or prescription.
How do I request the deletion of my data?
Use the privacy-related reason and provide only the necessary information to identify your request. Also, consult the privacy and data protection policies.
Can I reuse an image or text?
Request authorization by specifying the resource, usage, medium, duration, and target audience. Rights may vary depending on the source or visual.
What should I do if a button is not working?
Please provide the URL, the button text, your device, your browser, and what happens. A screenshot without personal information may help.
Is SOS Sciatique the same service as Clinique TAGMED?

Editorial information, sources and limitations
This content is intended to inform patients about sciatica, possible causes, warning signs, and care options. It does not replace an individualized assessment.
Reference sources
References are selected according to the subject of the page: guidelines, systematic reviews, then institutional resources.
- NICE NG59 – Low back pain and sciatica in over 16s — National guideline
- HAS – Management of patients with common low back pain — French national guideline
- Cochrane – Corticosteroid injections for treatment of sciatica — Systematic review
- NCBI Bookshelf – Sciatica — Clinical institutional resource
Complementary resources from the TAGMED network
These internal resources complement the clinical information and thematic linking. They do not replace national guidelines or systematic reviews.
Editorial note on decompression
Clinical resource from the TAGMED network; it does not replace national guidelines. Some guidelines use the term “traction” and recommend caution for low back pain with or without sciatica. Any decompression option should therefore be presented as an individualized clinical approach, with limitations, indications, and contraindications clearly explained.
Limitations of this information
The information on this page is general. It does not constitute a diagnosis, prescription, or guarantee of results. Pain radiating into the leg may have several causes; assessment should consider clinical history, examination findings, symptom progression, and, when appropriate, complementary tests.
When to seek urgent medical care
Seek urgent medical care if you experience loss of bladder or bowel control, saddle anesthesia, major or progressive leg weakness, unexplained fever, pain after significant trauma, or severe pain that rapidly worsens.
