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, especially 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 surpass your expectations of care! We have published papers to verify our treatment like this one that detailed how patients experiencing leg pain in addition to back pain improved to the same extent as low back pain alone patients with an exercise and education program. (2) We urge our sciatic leg pain patients to not give up! There is hope for relief of pain with our chiropractic treatment plan that combines 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 extended into the foot who was recommended to have spinal surgery yet chose carefully monitored, gentle force-applied, chiropractic Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and exercise for relief of his disc-related sciatic leg pain.

TIP OF THE MONTH: Stretch Hamstrings to Help Sciatic Leg Pain
Lumbar radiculopathy (pain that goes down the leg via a spinal nerve root) really disrupts its sufferers’ quality of life. Also known as sciatic leg pain, lumbar radiculopathy defies its sufferers to understand their condition so that they can contain it best, not fear movement, 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 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 improved function for back pain patients of all sorts. (5) Let’s talk at your next Augusta chiropractic visit to Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic about the right way to do hamstring stretching for the best results for you!
