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 diagnosis as well as well-defined expectations about the treatment and its effectiveness. (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 degree that low back pain alone patients did with an exercise and education program. (2) We encourage 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 your review 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 undergo spinal surgery yet chose 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, seek information and consider care at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office!

 Groton 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 messes with its sufferers’ quality of life. Also known as sciatic leg pain, lumbar radiculopathy defies 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 starts with just an easy exercise like hamstring stretching. A review of 344 randomized control trials that analyzed 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 improved function for back pain patients of all sorts. (5) Let’s talk at your next Groton chiropractic visit to Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office about the proper way to do hamstring stretching for the optimal results for you!
