Faster Sciatica Recovery with Chiropractic Adjustments

Texarkana sciatica treatment and chiropracticIn our Texarkana office, it isn't uncommon for us to see people struggling with sciatic nerve pain, and Back Pain Chiropractic has helped many of them recover with chiropractic. What makes chiropractic care so beneficial to those who suffer with sciatica? First off, it shortens their time of recovery and a Norwegian research study confirms it.

Research Shows Chiropractic Helps With Sciatica Pain

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

The authors discovered that all but two patients returned to their jobs after receiving chiropractic care, which is a 95% success rate. Moreover, the average period of time that the individuals spent off work "was reduced by two thirds as compared with that associated with conventional medical treatment."

Given the fact that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 170,450 days of work were missed 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 would also decrease costs to businesses and employees from lost work.
