Sciatic Leg Pain Relief with Chiropractic – Even After Back Surgery!

Options for relief of back pain and leg pain are surgical and non-surgical. Relieving chiropractic care is non-surgical and even post-surgical. A recent published paper questioned the long-term results of randomized clinical trials of surgical microdiscectomy for lumbosacral radicular syndrome. A high-volume spine center collected long-term outcome reports from 246 surgical patients. The review discovered that 26% of patients underwent re-operation. Further, 35% of patients who reported a negative recovery also experienced worse back and leg pain than the 65% who had a favorable recovery outcome. The authors summarized that patient selection for surgery is important to outcomes as well as informing patients about the chances for a less than perfect outcome. (1) It surely comes down to the right treatment for the right condition as well as having reasonable expectations by all involved. We know there is a place for conservative care and surgical care. We cooperate with talented local spine surgeons for those patients requiring their skills. For one patient who had spinal surgery for cauda equina syndrome, chiropractic care alleviated symptoms she had after that surgery - low back pain and radicular leg pain – as well as decreased her opioid medication use and bettered her low limb function. (2) Luckily, there is growing interest in the role of spinal manipulation therapy for low back pain symptoms following lumbar spine surgery, a condition that used to be called “failed back surgical syndrome” and today is more readily referred to as “persistent spinal pain syndrome” or “post-surgical continued pain syndrome” (PSCP). (3) Whatever it is termed, it is spine-related pain that remains or occurs after spine surgery. Cox® Technic spinal manipulation used at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is garnering notice for its use and its successful pain-relieving clinical outcome publication. In one study of 69 PSCP patients, 81% demonstrated better than 50% reduction in pain levels with Cox® Technic. Two years later, 78% had continued pain relief of greater than 50%. (4) Non-surgical chiropractic care at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is relieving for many Tonawanda back and sciatic leg pain sufferers without and even post-surgically!

Tonawanda CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Nutrition’s Role in Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy

The most common cause of Tonawanda myelopathy in the cervical spine is cervical spondylosis. Due to chronic compression of the spine cord and its resulting neurological disability in sufferers 55 years of age and over, cervical spondylosis decreases sufferers’ quality of life. Researchers desiring to help patients with this condition also want to have some answers for them. Does nutrition play a role in cervical myelopathy’s care, its development, and its influence on surgical outcomes? In one review of 5835 papers of which 44 were relevant, poorer improvements physically and mentally and complications after surgery were seen in obese patients. An unbalanced diet, history of alcohol abuse, and malnourishment were associated with lower post-operative outcomes, leading the researchers to state that nutrition may have a significant role in enhancing the surgical outcome for degenerative cervical myelopathy patients. (5) One beneficial nutritional approach for cervical myelopathy is olive extract as it is found to suppress inflammation and decrease oxidative stress and thereby protect cervical spondylotic myelopathy. (6) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is prepared to talk about this condition and share chiropractic’s role in examining, diagnosing, and managing cervical myelopathy.
