Quicker Sciatica Improvement with Chiropractic Adjustments

In our Hazleton and Conyngham practice, it's common for us to see people struggling with sciatica, and Eyerly Chiropractic Offices has helped many of them recover with chiropractic adjustments. What makes chiropractic care so beneficial to those who suffer with sciatica pain? For starters, it reduces their recovery time and a Norwegian research study confirms it.

Research Shows Chiropractic Care Helps With Sciatica Pain

In the report, which took place in a Norwegian hospital's orthopedic division, the authors looked at 44 patients who had abrupt low back pain that was diagnosed as acute sciatica. 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 returned to work after receiving chiropractic adjustments, 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."

Considering 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 almost 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 lessen costs to businesses and employees from lost work.
