PATIENTS SATISFIED WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE

A recent study reported that 80-90% of chiropractic patients suffering with sciatic leg pain said 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) 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 urge our sciatic leg pain patients to not despair! There is hope for pain relief with our chiropractic treatment plan that combines 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 you to read that detailed a case of a patient with left leg pain that extended into the foot who was recommended to undergo spinal surgery yet chose carefully monitored, gentle force-applied, chiropractic Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and exercise for relief of his disc-related 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 Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation!

 Carrolltown sciatica exercise: hamstring stretch 

TIP OF THE MONTH: Stretch Hamstrings to Help 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 control 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 reduces pain intensity for low back pain, improves 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 Carrolltown chiropractic visit to Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation about the right way to do hamstring stretching for the optimal results for you!
