Quicker Sciatica Healing with Chiropractic

In our Coraopolis practice, it isn't unusual for us to see people suffering with sciatica pain, and Moon Chiropractic has helped many of them heal with chiropractic care. What makes chiropractic care so helpful to those who suffer with sciatica discomfort? For starters, it lessens their healing time and a Norwegian medical study confirms it.

Research Proves Chiropractic Care Helps With Sciatica Pain

In the study, which took place in a Norwegian hospital's orthopedic division, researchers looked at 44 patients who had abrupt low back pain that was identified 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 adjustments, 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."

Given the fact that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that over 170,000 workdays 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 would that increase work productivity, but it might also reduce costs to businesses and workers from lost work.
