PATIENTS SATISFIED WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
A recent study reported 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
completeness of the examination, clear
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 support our
treatment like this one that described 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 pain relief with our chiropractic treatment plan that blends
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 presented 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 decided to
undergo carefully monitored, gentle force-applied, chiropractic Cox®
Technic spinal manipulation and exercise for 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, seek
information and check into care at our Ashburn chiropractic
office!
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 messes with its sufferers’ quality of life. Also known as sciatica, lumbar radiculopathy defies its sufferers to really get to know their condition so that they can manage it best, not fear movement, 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, 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 Ashburn chiropractic visit to Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn about the proper way to do hamstring stretching for the optimal results for you!
