Faster Sciatica Improvement with Chiropractic Adjustments

In our Livermore practice, it isn't uncommon for us to see people struggling with sciatic nerve pain, and Haque Chiropractic Inc. has helped many of these people heal with chiropractic treatment. What makes chiropractic care so helpful to those who suffer with this condition? First off, it reduces their recovery time and a Norwegian research study confirms it.

Research Shows Chiropractic Treatment Helps With Sciatica Pain

In the report, which took place in a Norwegian hospital's orthopedic division, researchers looked at 44 patients who presented with sudden low back pain that was clinically diagnosed as acute sciatica. The individuals were all treated by a chiropractor, with the average 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 amount 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 could that increase work productivity, but it might also reduce costs to businesses and workers from lost work.
