Fort Wayne Chiropractic Non-Surgical Relief for a Disc Herniation in the Neck

Guidelines are part of healthcare today. There are best-evidence guidelines for everything from how to manage psoriasis to kidney disease to back pain. There are best-evidence guidelines for most professions from allergy and immunology to urology. Chiropractic care is part of it all as is back pain and neck pain management. Such guidelines offer a base for physicians like your Fort Wayne chiropractor to practice and Fort Wayne chiropractic patients to realize that  they are being treated with the best evidenced care. Healthcare guidelines keep evolving, and guidelines for neck pain due to cervical disc herniation indicate an 8 to 12 week wait before surgical intervention which is just enough time for Fort Wayne chiropractic care at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc to potentially thwart Fort Wayne back surgery for many.

In Europe, national guidelines for the non-surgical care of recent start neck pain or cervical radiculopathy (arm pain) are shared:  Supervised exercise with manual therapy. Exercise and manual therapy before medicine for neck pain. Acupuncture for neck pain. Traction for cervical radiculopathy. NSAIDs (oral or topical) and tramadol after careful consideration for both neck pain and cervical radiculopathy.  The guidelines also advise telling the patient about warning signs, prognosis and advice to be active along with treatment.  (1) Good advice!

A study of Dutch neurosurgeons shows30 that 76.3% of them utilize the anterior cervical discectomy with fusion for cervical spine disc herniation surgeries. This means that they reach the cervical spine via the front of the neck, not the back. This surgical approach has a higher risk for complications than just an anterior cervical discectomy, but the surgeons think it to be more effective for arm pain relief. Considering the risk, fortunately, the surgeons look for a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks of radicular arm pain in a patient before they perform a surgery. (2) That allows Fort Wayne chiropractic care just enough time to ease Fort Wayne neck pain.
