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, particularly with the
completeness of the examination, understandable
communication and information about the symptoms and prognosis
as well as clear expectations about the treatment and its helpfulness.
(1) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is here to satisfy and surpass
your expectations of care! We have published papers to verify our
treatment like this one that detailed how patients suffering
with 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 urge
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. Actually, 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 told he would have
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
sciatica. (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 OrthoIllinois Chiropractic!
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 sciatic leg pain, lumbar radiculopathy defies its sufferers to understand their condition so that they can control 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 found that it reduces pain intensity for low back pain, enhances straight leg raise ability in patients with low back pain with radicular leg pain (sciatica), and improved function for back pain patients of all sorts. (5) Let’s talk at your next McHenry chiropractic visit to OrthoIllinois Chiropractic about the right way to do hamstring stretching for the best results for you!
