Back surgery. Non-surgical care. What’s the
best solution for back pain and leg pain?
Now, that’s
an age-old question for back pain and leg pain sufferers and doctors alike. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc mulls
it over from time to time and knows
that Fort Wayne back pain and leg pain sufferers find relief
with Fort Wayne
chiropractic care. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc knows
the symptoms to look for that would indicate
necessity for back surgery. Beyond those, Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is skilled
in the conservative care of back pain and leg pain to deliver the
pain relief our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients are
seeking.
Relief Possible Without Back Surgery
Medicine notes that back pain relief is possible
conservatively! Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is happy
to see this latest back pain treatment study. Researchers tracked 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 hurt with low back
pain and sciatica that extends into one or both legs. Several
patients had previously tried physiotherapy
and other medical treatment unsuccessfully
before this intervention. (1) Fort Wayne back pain patients at
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc have read this story before…or lived it! We notice
that so many of the Fort Wayne back pain patients coming to the office have tried many other ways
to free themselves from their back pain. All they
want is relief now. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is poised
to give 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) granted enough time helped
these back pain patients’ pain. They did not have to have back surgery. Their MRI studies even show
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. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc says this continuously! Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc 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 recuperate
from their back pain symptoms due to lumbar disc herniation was 13.6 months
(give or take 5.4 months). (1) Fortunately
for our Fort Wayne back pain patients, Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc 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
share this warning with their colleagues that such relief
is possible and should be taken into account
when deciding whether to do back
surgery if there are no signs
for immediate surgical intervention. (1) Yes!
