Sciatica 72 percent success rate in treating sciatica-related symptoms.

Compared to most medical treatments, few interventions can initiate back pain relief and healing like chiropractic adjustments can.

The European Spine Journal published findings from a clinical trial uncovering how chiropractic adjustments resulted in a 72 percent success rate in treating sciatica-related symptoms. This can be compared to a ___20 percent success rate from treatment with physical therapy, and a __50 percent success rate from corticosteroid injections.

Another study published in the “Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics” found patients with chronic low-back pain treated by chiropractors showed greater improvement and satisfaction one month following treatment compared to patients treated by family physicians.

Moreover, total costs of the chiropractic-treated patients were about one-third of the costs of physiotherapy or general practitioner care.
