Back surgery. Non-surgical care. What is the best solution 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 from time to time and often concludes that Tonawanda back pain and leg pain sufferers find relief with Tonawanda chiropractic care. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation recognizes the symptoms to look for that would indicate necessity for back surgery. Beyond those, Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is skilled in the conservative care of back pain and leg pain to produce the pain relief our Tonawanda chiropractic patients are seeking.

Relief Possible Without Back Surgery

Medicine notes that back pain relief is possible conservatively! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is enthusiastic to see this latest back pain treatment study. Researchers tracked patients with lumbar disc herniations (most at L4-5 and L5-S1). These patients were 38 years old on average, just the age when that really bad back pain episode seems to come on according to spinal researchers. These patients hurt 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 without relief before this trial. (1) That sounds quite familiar for Tonawanda back pain patients looking for relief at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation! We notice that so many of the Tonawanda back pain patients seeking care at this chiropractic office have attempted many other approaches to get rid of their back pain. They just want relief now. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is prepared 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) given enough time eased 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 back pain and sciatica relief. (1) Notice that the size of the disc herniation on MRI does not influence clinical outcome. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation says this continuously! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation 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) Fortunately for our Tonawanda back pain patients, Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation seeks 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 conceivable and should be taken into account in the decision-making process about whether to do back surgery if there are no indications for immediate surgical intervention. (1) Yes! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation helps Tonawanda back pain and leg pain patients when they desire non-surgical care for their pain.
