PATIENTS SATISFIED WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
A recent study documented that 80-90% of chiropractic patients suffering with sciatic leg pain reported themselves to be “very satisfied” with their care, especially with the thorough examination, understandable communication and information about the symptoms and prognosis as well as well-defined expectations about the treatment and its helpfulness. (1) We are here to satisfy and surpass your expectations of care! We have published papers to verify our treatment like this one that described how patients suffering with leg pain in addition to back pain got better to the same extent as low back pain alone patients with an exercise and education program. (2) We encourage our sciatic leg pain patients to not give up! There is hope for pain relief with our chiropractic treatment plan that merges the best of nutrition, exercise and spinal manipulation with The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management. As a matter of fact, a new case report was just published and available on PubMed and in the Frontiers of Integrative Medicine journal for your review that detailed a case of a patient with left leg pain that extended into the foot who was told he would have to have spinal surgery yet chose carefully monitored, gentle force-applied, chiropractic Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and exercise to get relief of his discogenic sciatica. (3) If you or someone you know is suffering with back pain with (and without!) sciatic leg pain, seek information and consider care at our Murfreesboro chiropractic office!
TIP OF THE MONTH: Stretch Hamstrings to Ease Sciatic Leg Pain
Lumbar radiculopathy (pain that radiates down the leg via a spinal nerve root) really messes with its sufferers’ quality of life. Also known as sciatica, lumbar radiculopathy defies its sufferers to really get to know their condition so that they can manage it best, not fear movement, and better take care of themselves. (4) Often this starts with just a simple exercise like hamstring stretching. A review of 344 randomized control trials that tested the effectiveness of hamstring stretching exercise revealed that it lessens pain intensity for low back pain, improves straight leg raise ability in patients with low back pain with radicular leg pain (sciatica), and improved function for back pain patients of all sorts. (5) Let’s talk at your next Murfreesboro chiropractic visit to Most Chiropractic Clinic about the right way to do hamstring stretching for the optimal results for you!
