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, especially with the thorough 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 described 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 merges 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 your review that detailed 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 to get relief of his discogenic sciatic leg pain.

TIP OF THE MONTH: Stretch Hamstrings to Ease Sciatic Leg Pain
Lumbar radiculopathy (pain that radiates down the leg via a spinal nerve root) really disrupts its sufferers’ quality of life. Also known as sciatica, lumbar radiculopathy defies its sufferers to really get to know their condition so that they can manage 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 tested the effectiveness of hamstring stretching exercise revealed 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 New York City chiropractic visit to Rosenberg Wellness Center about the right way to do hamstring stretching for the best results for you!
