PATIENTS SATISFIED WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
A recent study documented that 80-90% of chiropractic patients who suffer with sciatic leg pain reported themselves to be “very satisfied” with their care, especially with the thorough examination, clear communication and information about the symptoms and prognosis as well as clear expectations about the treatment and its helpfulness. (1) We are here to satisfy and surpass your expectations of care! We have published papers to verify our treatment like this one that explained how patients dealing 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 encourage our sciatic leg pain patients to not despair! 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 recommended to undergo spinal surgery yet decided to undergo carefully monitored, gentle force-applied, chiropractic Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and exercise to get relief of his disc-related sciatica.

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 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 a simple 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, enhances straight leg raise ability in patients with low back pain and radicular leg pain (sciatica), and enhances function for back pain patients of all sorts. (5) Let’s talk at your next Montreal chiropractic visit to Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic about the right way to do hamstring stretching for the best results for you!
