Quicker Sciatica Recovery with Chiropractic Care

Sayville, Long Island, NY Sciatica Improvement with Chiropractic Adjustments

In our Sayville, Long Island, NY practice, it's common for us to see patients struggling with sciatica pain, and Precision Chiropractic has helped many of these people recover with chiropractic care. What makes chiropractic treatment so useful to those who suffer with this condition? First off, it lessens their recovery time and a Norwegian research study confirms it.

Research Supports Chiropractic Adjustments Helps With Sciatica Pain

In the study, which took place in a Norwegian hospital's orthopedic department, the authors looked at 44 patients who presented with abrupt low back pain that was identified as acute sciatica. The individuals were all treated by a chiropractor, with the mean follow-up being two years after treatment.

The researchers discovered that all but two patients went back to work after receiving chiropractic care, which is a 95% success rate. Moreover, the average length of time that the people spent off work "was reduced by two thirds as compared with that associated with conventional medical treatment."

Considering that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that over 170,000 workdays were lost in 2013 due to employees dealing with back or spine-related issues, that is nearly 112,500 work days that could potentially be recovered each and every year solely by receiving chiropractic care. Not only would that increase productivity, but it could also decrease costs to businesses and employees from lost work.
