Faster Sciatica Recovery with Chiropractic Care

In our Shoreview, MN practice, it isn't uncommon for us to see patients suffering with sciatic nerve pain, and Dr. Jane Steffen Bye has helped many of them improve with chiropractic. What makes chiropractic so helpful to those who suffer with sciatica? First off, it shortens their recovery time and a Norwegian medical study confirms it.

In the study, which took place in a Norwegian hospital's orthopedic division, the authors looked at 44 patients who presented with sudden 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 found that all but two patients went back to their jobs after receiving chiropractic adjustments, which is a 95% success rate. Furthermore, the average length 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 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 would that increase work productivity, but it would also reduce costs to businesses and employees from lost work.

If you live in Shoreview, MN and you suffer with sciatica, Dr. Jane Steffen Bye is here to assist. Give us a call at (651) 483-4040 and we'll work with you to find the root cause of your sciatic pain and get you back on the road to recovery.
