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 prognosis as well as well-defined expectations about the treatment and its effectiveness. (1) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is here to satisfy and surpass your expectations of care! We have published papers to support our treatment like this one that explained how patients dealing 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 despair! There is hope for relief of pain with our chiropractic treatment plan that blends 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 went all the way into the foot who was recommended to undergo spinal surgery yet decided to undergo carefully monitored, gentle force-applied, chiropractic Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and exercise to get relief of his disc-related sciatic leg pain.

Tonawanda sciatica exercise: hamstring stretch

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 sciatic leg pain, lumbar radiculopathy defies its sufferers to understand their condition so that they can contain it best, not fear movement, and better take care of themselves. (4) Often this begins with just an easy exercise like hamstring stretching. A review of 344 randomized control trials that tested the effectiveness of hamstring stretching exercise discovered 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 enhances function for back pain patients of all sorts. (5) Let’s talk at your next Tonawanda chiropractic visit to Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation about the proper way to do hamstring stretching for the optimal results for you!
