Back surgery. Non-surgical care. What is best for back pain and leg pain?
Now, that’s
an age-old question for both
doctors and back pain and leg pain sufferers. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation mulls
it over on occasion and often concludes
that Tonawanda back pain and leg pain sufferers do well
with Tonawanda
chiropractic care. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation recognizes
the symptoms to look for that would send a patient to back surgery. Beyond those, Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is skilled
in the conservative care of back pain and leg pain to get the Tonawanda back pain patient’s desired
pain relief.
Relief Possible Without Back Surgery
Medicine notices that back pain relief is achievable
non—surgicall! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is excited
to see this latest back pain treatment study. A group of medical
doctors followed patients with lumbar disc
herniations (most at L4-5 and L5-S1). These patients were 38 years old on
average, just the age that spinal research
reports as average for back pain sufferers to have a bad case of back pain that’s
been building for years. These patients hurt with low back
pain and sciatica that extends into one or both legs. Many
patients had already attempted relief with physiotherapy
and other medical treatment to no avail
before this trial. (1) That sounds quite familiar for
Tonawanda back pain patients seeking care at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation! We notice
that so many of the Tonawanda back pain patients seeking care at
this chiropractic office have tried many other approaches
to alleviate their back pain. They just want relief now. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is ready
to give it.
Give Some Time to Treatment and Relief
These researchers report that conservative
medical care (like bed rest and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle
relaxants, gels) given enough time improved
these back pain patients’ pain. They did not have to undergo back surgery. Their MRI studies even demonstrate
improvement as they improved symptomatically and experienced relief of their back pain and sciatic leg pain. (1)
Note that the size of the disc herniation on MRI doesn’t
affect clinical outcome. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation says this all
the time! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation posted many articles about this very topic: the size of the disc herniation does
not matter! Not early back surgery or conservative care for back pain relief showed any
significant difference in outcomes. (2) The average time for patients to recover
from their back pain symptoms due to lumbar disc herniation was 13.6 months
(give or take 5.4 months). (1) Fortunately
for our Tonawanda back pain patients, Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation looks
for at least 50% relief of pain in the first 30 days and discovers
that 91% of our patients get relief in 3 months. (3) The authors
caution their colleagues that such relief
is possible and should be taken into account
when deciding whether to do back
surgery if there are no indications
for immediate surgical intervention. (1) Yes!
