Faster Sciatica Recovery with Chiropractic Therapy
Lincoln Sciatica Healing with Chiropractic Care
In our Lincoln practice, it isn't uncommon for us to see people troubled with sciatica, and Dr. Jerrad Swanson, DC, FMT, DN1 has helped many of them recover with chiropractic adjustments. What makes chiropractic therapy so helpful to those who suffer with sciatica pain? For starters, it reduces their recovery time and a Norwegian research study confirms it.
Research Supports 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 abrupt low back pain that was clinically diagnosed as acute sciatic nerve pain. The participants were all treated by a chiropractor, with the mean follow-up being two years after treatment.
The researchers found that all but two patients went back to work after receiving chiropractic care, which is a 95% success rate. Furthermore, the average amount of time that the patients 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 productivity, but it might also lessen costs to businesses and employees from lost work.
