Back surgery. Non-surgical care. What’s the
best solution for back pain and leg pain?
Now, that is
an age-old question for both
doctors and back pain and leg pain sufferers. Pflugerville Wellness Center ponders it from time to time and often concludes
that Pflugerville back pain and leg pain sufferers find relief
with Pflugerville
chiropractic care. Pflugerville Wellness Center recognizes
the symptoms to look for that would send a patient to back surgery. Beyond those, Pflugerville Wellness Center is experienced
in the conservative care of back pain and leg pain to get the Pflugerville back pain patient’s desired
pain relief.
Relief Possible Without Back Surgery
Medicine notes that back pain relief is viable
non—surgicall! Pflugerville Wellness Center 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 went into one or both legs. Several
patients had previously attempted relief with physiotherapy
and other medical treatment without relief
before this intervention. (1) That sounds quite familiar for
Pflugerville back pain patients seeking care at Pflugerville Wellness Center! We find
that so many of the Pflugerville 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. Pflugerville Wellness Center is ready
to produce it.
Give Some Time to Treatment and Relief
These researchers found that conservative
medical care (like bed rest and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle
relaxants, gels) granted enough time improved
these back pain patients’ pain. They did not have to have 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 does not
influence clinical outcome. Pflugerville Wellness Center says this all
the time! Pflugerville Wellness Center has written
many posts about this very topic: the size of the disc herniation does
not matter! Neither
early back surgery nor 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) Lucky
for our Pflugerville back pain patients, Pflugerville Wellness Center pursues at least 50% relief of pain in the first 30 days and finds
that 91% of our patients get relief in 3 months. (3) The authors
advise their colleagues that such relief
is possible and should be taken into account
when deciding a potential back surgery if there are no indications
for immediate surgery necessity. (1) Yes!
