Back surgery. Non-surgical care. What’s the
best solution for back pain and leg pain?
Now, that is
an age-old question for both
doctors and back pain and leg pain sufferers. Novelli Wellness Center mulls
it over from time to time and often concludes
that Orchard Park, NY back pain and leg pain sufferers do well
with Orchard Park, NY
chiropractic care. Novelli Wellness Center knows
the symptoms to look for that would indicate
necessity for back surgery. Beyond those, Novelli Wellness Center is skilled
in the conservative care of back pain and leg pain to get the Orchard Park, NY back pain patient’s desired
pain relief.
Relief Possible Without Back Surgery
Medicine notes that back pain relief is feasible
conservatively! Novelli Wellness Center is enthusiastic
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 suffered with low back
pain and sciatica that went into one or both legs. Several
patients had already attempted relief with physiotherapy
and other medical treatment without relief
before this intervention. (1) Orchard Park, NY back pain patients at
Novelli Wellness Center have heard this story before…or lived it! We find
that so many of the Orchard Park, NY back pain patients coming to the office have attempted many other tactics
to alleviate their back pain. They just want relief now. Novelli Wellness Center is prepared
to produce 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) granted enough time helped
these back pain patients’ pain. They did not have to have back surgery. Their MRI studies even demonstrate
improvement as they improved symptomatically and felt relief of their back pain and sciatic leg pain. (1)
Notice that the size of the disc herniation on MRI does not
affect clinical outcome. Novelli Wellness Center says this continuously! Novelli Wellness Center has written
many posts about this very topic: the size of the disc herniation doesn’t 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 Orchard Park, NY back pain patients, Novelli Wellness Center pursues 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
caution their colleagues that such relief
is potential and should be taken into account
when deciding a potential back surgery if there are no indications
for immediate surgery necessity. (1) Yes!
