PATIENTS SATISFIED WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
A recent study documented that 80-90% of patients who visit chiropractors and suffer with sciatic leg pain reported themselves to be “very satisfied” with their care, particularly with the thorough examination, clear communication and information about the symptoms and prognosis as well as well-defined expectations about the treatment and its helpfulness. (1) Satterwhite Chiropractic is here to satisfy and exceed your expectations of care! We have published papers to support our treatment like this one that described how patients suffering with leg pain in addition to back pain improved to the same extent as low back pain alone patients 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 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 accessible on PubMed and in the Frontiers of Integrative Medicine journal for you to read that detailed a case of a patient with left leg pain that went all the way 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 suffering with back pain with (and without!) sciatic leg pain, get some more information and consider care at Satterwhite Chiropractic!
TIP OF THE MONTH: Stretch Hamstrings to Help Sciatic Leg Pain
Lumbar radiculopathy (pain that radiates 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 really get to know 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 analyzed 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 Oxford chiropractic visit to Satterwhite Chiropractic about the proper way to do hamstring stretching for the best results for you!
