PATIENTS SATISFIED WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
A recent study documented that 80-90% of patients who visit chiropractors and suffer with sciatic leg pain stated that they were “very satisfied” with their care, especially with the thorough examination, clear communication and information about the symptoms and prognosis as well as well-defined expectations about the treatment and its effectiveness. (1) We are here to satisfy and exceed your expectations of care! We have published papers to support our treatment like this one that detailed how patients experiencing leg pain in addition to back pain got better to the same degree that low back pain alone patients did 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 combines the best of nutrition, exercise and spinal manipulation with The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management. In fact, a new case report was just published and available on PubMed and in the Frontiers of Integrative Medicine journal for your review that described a case of a patient with left leg pain that went all the way into the foot who was told he would have to undergo 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 dealing with back pain with (and without!) sciatic leg pain, get some more information and check into care at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic!
TIP OF THE MONTH: Stretch Hamstrings to Ease Sciatic Leg Pain
Lumbar radiculopathy (pain that goes down the leg via a spinal nerve root) really disrupts its sufferers’ quality of life. Also known as sciatic leg pain, lumbar radiculopathy defies its sufferers to understand their condition so that they can contain it best, not fear doing everyday motions, 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 analyzed the effectiveness of hamstring stretching exercise discovered that it reduces pain intensity for low back pain, improves straight leg raise ability in patients with low back pain with radicular leg pain (sciatica), and boosts function for back pain patients of all sorts. (5) Let’s talk at your next Fort Wayne chiropractic visit to Aaron Chiropractic Clinic about the right way to do hamstring stretching for the best results for you!
