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, understandable communication and information about the symptoms and diagnosis as well as well-defined expectations about the treatment and its helpfulness. (1) Layden 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 despair! 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 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 told he would have 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 sciatic leg pain. (3) If you or someone you know is dealing with back pain with (and without!) sciatic leg pain, get some more information and check into care at our Plainville chiropractic office!

 Plainville sciatica exercise: hamstring stretch 

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 sciatica, lumbar radiculopathy defies its sufferers to understand their condition so that they can manage it best, not fear doing everyday motions, and better take care of themselves. (4) Often this starts with just a simple exercise like hamstring stretching. A review of 344 randomized control trials that tested the effectiveness of hamstring stretching exercise revealed that it reduces pain intensity for low back pain, improves straight leg raise ability in patients with low back pain and radicular leg pain (sciatica), and improved function for back pain patients of all sorts. (5) Let’s talk at your next Plainville chiropractic visit to Layden Chiropractic about the right way to do hamstring stretching for the best results for you!
