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, particularly with the completeness of the examination, clear communication and information about the symptoms and diagnosis as well as well-defined expectations about the treatment and its helpfulness. (1) New Roads Chiropractic Center is here to satisfy and surpass your expectations of care! We have published papers to support our treatment like this one that explained 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 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 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 chose carefully monitored, gentle force-applied, chiropractic Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and exercise to get 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 check into care at our New Roads chiropractic office!

 New Roads 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 defies its sufferers to really get to know 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 a simple exercise like hamstring stretching. A review of 344 randomized control trials that analyzed the effectiveness of hamstring stretching exercise found that it lessens 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 New Roads chiropractic visit to New Roads Chiropractic Center about the right way to do hamstring stretching for the best results for you!

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Timothy Gagan on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about the use of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management treatment and exercise protocols that help back pain and sciatic leg pain sufferers find relief, manage their pain, and get back to life!
