Sixty percent of people with sciatica who didn’t get relief from other therapies and then tried Chiropractic experienced the same degree of pain relief as patients who eventually had surgery. The 120 people in the study saw a Chiropractor about three times a week for 4 weeks and then continued weekly visits, tapering off treatment as they improved. Their benefits lasted up to a year.

“Chiropractic manipulation of the Spine, creates a response in the nervous system that restores normal mobility to the injured areas and relieves  pain. It also reduces inflammation, creating an environment that promotes the body’s natural healing mechanisms.”            -Jounral of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics
