PATIENTS SATISFIED WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE

A recent study documented that 80-90% of patients who visit chiropractors and suffer with sciatic leg pain stated that they were “very satisfied” with their care, especially with the thorough examination, understandable communication and information about the symptoms and diagnosis as well as clear expectations about the treatment and its helpfulness. (1) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries 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 degree that low back pain alone patients did with an exercise and education program. (2) We encourage our sciatic leg pain patients to not give up! There is hope for relief of pain with our chiropractic treatment plan that merges 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 accessible on PubMed and in the Frontiers of Integrative Medicine journal for you to read that described 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 chose carefully monitored, gentle force-applied, chiropractic Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and exercise to get relief of his disc-related sciatica.

 Manchester 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 sciatica, lumbar radiculopathy defies its sufferers to understand 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 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 and radicular leg pain (sciatica), and enhances function for back pain patients of all sorts. (5) Let’s talk at your next Manchester chiropractic visit to Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries about the proper way to do hamstring stretching for the optimal results for you!
