New study from the Annals of Internal Medicine journal on a very disabling condition commonly called sciatica (leg pain from a pinced nerve in the low back). This comparitive study found that spinal manipulation (adjustment) plus home exercise and advise gave significantly better outcomes at 12 weeks than home exercise and advise alone.
I have had many patients over the years with severe sciatica tell me that the pain was so bad they wished someone would cut their leg off!
Even the narcotic drugs are mostly ineffective for more severe nerve pain.
Has anyone had experience with a severe pinched nerve?
