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.
