PATIENTS SATISFIED WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
A recent study documented that 80-90% of patients who visit chiropractors and suffer with sciatic leg pain said that they were “very satisfied” with their care, especially with the thorough examination, clear communication and information about the symptoms and diagnosis as well as clear expectations about the treatment and its helpfulness. (1) We are here to satisfy and surpass your expectations of care! We have published papers to support our treatment like this one that explained how patients experiencing 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 despair! There is hope for pain relief with our chiropractic treatment plan that offers the best of nutrition, exercise and spinal manipulation with The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management. Actually, a new case report was just published and accessible on PubMed and in the Frontiers of Integrative Medicine journal for your review that presented 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 sciatic leg pain. (3) If you or someone you know is dealing with back pain with (and without!) sciatic leg pain, seek information and check into care at our Fernandina Beach chiropractic office!
TIP OF THE MONTH: Stretch Hamstrings to Help Sciatic Leg Pain
Lumbar radiculopathy (pain that goes down the leg via a spinal nerve root) really messes with its sufferers’ quality of life. Also known as sciatic leg pain, lumbar radiculopathy challenges its sufferers to understand their condition so that they can manage it best, not fear doing everyday motions, and better take care of themselves. (4) Often this begins 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, enhances straight leg raise ability in patients with low back pain with radicular leg pain (sciatica), and enhances function for back pain patients of all sorts. (5) Let’s talk at your next Fernandina Beach chiropractic visit to Amelia Chiropractic Clinic about the right way to do hamstring stretching for the optimal results for you!
