PATIENTS SATISFIED WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE

A recent study documented that 80-90% of patients who visit chiropractors and suffer with sciatic leg pain stated that they were “very satisfied” with their care, particularly with the thorough examination, clear communication and information about the symptoms and prognosis as well as clear expectations about the treatment and its effectiveness. (1) Vancouver Disc Centers is here to satisfy and surpass your expectations of care! We have published papers to support our treatment like this one that detailed 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 give up! There is hope for relief of pain with our chiropractic treatment plan that offers the best of nutrition, exercise and spinal manipulation with The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management. As a matter of 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 presented 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 disc-related sciatica. (3) If you or someone you know is dealing with back pain with (and without!) sciatic leg pain, get some more information and consider care at Vancouver Disc Centers!

 Vancouver 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 sciatica, lumbar radiculopathy challenges its sufferers to really get to know 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 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 Vancouver chiropractic visit to Vancouver Disc Centers about the right way to do hamstring stretching for the optimal results for you!
