PATIENTS SATISFIED WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
A recent study documented that 80-90% of patients who visit chiropractors and suffer with sciatic leg pain said that they were “very satisfied” with their care, particularly with the thorough examination, understandable communication and information about the symptoms and prognosis as well as well-defined expectations about the treatment and its helpfulness. (1) We are here to satisfy and exceed your expectations of care! We have published papers to support our treatment like this one that detailed 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 urge our sciatic leg pain patients to not despair! There is hope for pain relief with our chiropractic treatment plan that combines the best of nutrition, exercise and spinal manipulation with The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.

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 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 lessens pain intensity for low back pain, enhances straight leg raise ability in patients with low back pain with radicular leg pain (sciatica), and boosts function for back pain patients of all sorts. (5) Let’s talk at your next Fort Wayne chiropractic visit to Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc about the proper way to do hamstring stretching for the best results for you!
