PATIENTS SATISFIED WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE

A recent study documented that 80-90% of chiropractic patients suffering 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 effectiveness. (1) Satterwhite Chiropractic is here to satisfy and surpass your expectations of care! We have published papers to verify our treatment like this one that described how patients experiencing leg pain in addition to back pain got better 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 accessible 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 decided to undergo carefully monitored, gentle force-applied, chiropractic Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and exercise for relief of his discogenic sciatica. (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!

 Oxford sciatica exercise: hamstring stretch 

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 contain it best, not fear movement, and better take care of themselves. (4) Often this starts with just an easy exercise like hamstring stretching. A review of 344 randomized control trials that analyzed the effectiveness of hamstring stretching exercise documented that it lessens pain intensity for low back pain, enhances 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 Oxford chiropractic visit to Satterwhite Chiropractic about the proper way to do hamstring stretching for the best results for you!
