PATIENTS SATISFIED WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
A recent study reported that 80-90% of chiropractic patients suffering
with sciatic leg pain stated that they were “very satisfied” with their care, especially with the
completeness of the examination, understandable
communication and information about the symptoms and diagnosis
as well as well-defined expectations about the treatment and its helpfulness.
(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 improved to the
same degree that low back pain alone patients did with an exercise and education program. (2) We urge
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 described a case of a patient with left leg pain
that went all the way into the foot who was recommended to undergo 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, get some more
information and consider care at Amelia 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 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 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 analyzed the effectiveness of hamstring stretching exercise found 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 boosts 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 proper way to do hamstring stretching for the best results for you!
