Back surgery. Non-surgical care. What is best for back pain and leg pain?
Now, there is
an age-old question for back pain and leg pain sufferers and doctors alike. The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR mulls
it over on occasion and knows
that Colorado Springs back pain and leg pain sufferers do well
with Colorado Springs
chiropractic care. The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR recognizes
the symptoms to be alert to that would indicate
necessity for back surgery. Beyond those, The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR is skilled
in the conservative care of back pain and leg pain to produce the
pain relief our Colorado Springs chiropractic patients are
seeking.
Relief Possible Without Back Surgery
Medicine notes that back pain relief is feasible
non—surgicall! The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR is excited
to see this latest back pain treatment study. Researchers followed patients with lumbar disc
herniations (most at L4-5 and L5-S1). These patients averaged 38 years old, just the age when that really bad back
pain episode seems to come on according to spinal researchers. These patients suffered with low back
pain and sciatica that extends into one or both legs. Many
patients had previously attempted relief with physiotherapy
and other medical treatment unsuccessfully
before this intervention. (1) That sounds quite familiar for
Colorado Springs back pain patients looking for relief at The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR! We notice
that so many of the Colorado Springs back pain patients seeking care at
this chiropractic office have tried many other means
to get rid of their back pain. They just want relief now. The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR is poised
to produce it.
Give Some Time to Treatment and Relief
These researchers share that conservative
medical care (like bed rest and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle
relaxants, gels) allowed enough time improved
these back pain patients’ pain. They didn’t have to go
through 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
influence clinical outcome. The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR says this continuously! The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR posted many articles about this very topic: the size of the disc herniation doesn’t matter! Not early back surgery or conservative care for back pain relief showed any
significant outcome differences. (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) Lucky
for our Colorado Springs back pain patients, The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR 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
advise their colleagues that such relief
is possible and should be considered
when deciding a potential back surgery if there are no indications
for immediate surgical intervention. (1) Yes!
