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, 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 exceed
your expectations of care! We have published papers to verify our
treatment like this one that described how patients suffering
with 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 encourage
our sciatic leg pain patients to not despair! There is hope for relief
of pain with our chiropractic treatment plan that offers
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 you to read
that detailed a case of a patient with left leg pain
that extended into the foot who was recommended to have 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 suffering
with back pain with (and without!) sciatic leg pain, seek
information and check into care at our Sitka chiropractic
office!
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 disrupts its sufferers’ quality of life. Also known as sciatica, lumbar radiculopathy challenges its sufferers to really get to know their condition so that they can contain it best, not fear doing everyday motions, 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 revealed that it lessens pain intensity for low back pain, enhances straight leg raise ability in patients with low back pain and radicular leg pain (sciatica), and improved function for back pain patients of all sorts. (5) Let’s talk at your next Sitka chiropractic visit to Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka about the proper way to do hamstring stretching for the best results for you!
