PATIENTS SATISFIED WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE

A recent study reported that 80-90% of chiropractic patients who 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 diagnosis 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 verify our treatment like this one that explained how patients experiencing 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 encourage 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 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 recommended to have spinal surgery yet decided to undergo 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 La Grande chiropractic office!

 La Grande sciatica exercise: hamstring stretch 

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 challenges its sufferers to understand their condition so that they can control it best, not fear doing everyday motions, 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 tested the effectiveness of hamstring stretching exercise discovered 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 enhances function for back pain patients of all sorts. (5) Let’s talk at your next La Grande chiropractic visit to Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC about the right way to do hamstring stretching for the best results for you!
