Treat Sciatica
Sciatica is a type of pain that affects the hip, back and outer leg. If you suffer from sciatica, then you should make an appointment with Physical Medicine Center, Inc.
There was a study published in the “European Spine Journal” that examined how effective chiropractic adjustments were for treating sciatica. The results of the study showed that 72 percent of people who received a spinal adjustment was able to reduce their symptoms.
Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to be more effective for reducing sciatica symptoms than physical therapy and corticosteroid injections. The study showed that only 20 percent of people who received physical therapy had a reduction in symptoms. Only 50 percent of people who received the corticosteroid injections had an improvement in their sciatica.
Lower Blood Pressure
If you have high blood pressure, then you can benefit from getting a chiropractic adjustment. Studies have shown that chiropractic adjustments are effective for lowering blood pressure. There was a study done that compared people who received a placebo for high blood pressure to people who received a chiropractic adjustment.
The study showed that people who received chiropractic adjustments were able to lower their systolic blood pressure by 14 mm Hg and diastolic 8 mm Hg. The placebo group did not experience a significant reduction in their blood pressure.
Prevent Surgery
