Back surgery. Non-surgical care. What is best for back pain and leg pain?
Now, that’s
an age-old question for both
doctors and back pain and leg pain sufferers. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. mulls
it over from time to time and often concludes
that Auburn back pain and leg pain sufferers find relief
with Auburn
chiropractic care. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. recognizes
the symptoms to look for that would send a patient to back surgery. Beyond those, Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is skilled
in the conservative care of back pain and leg pain to deliver the Auburn back pain patient’s desired
pain relief.
Relief Possible Without Back Surgery
Medicine notices that back pain relief is feasible
conservatively! Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is enthusiastic
to see this latest back pain treatment study. A group of medical
doctors monitored 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 went into one or both legs. Several
patients had already attempted relief with physiotherapy
and other medical treatment unsuccessfully
before this trial. (1) That sounds quite familiar for
Auburn back pain patients seeking care at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C.! We notice
that so many of the Auburn back pain patients seeking care at
this chiropractic office have tried many other ways
to get rid of their back pain. All they
want is relief now. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is prepared
to give it.
Give Some Time to Treatment and Relief
These researchers found 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 doesn’t
influence clinical outcome. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. says this all
the time! Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. posted many articles about this very topic: the size of the disc herniation does
not 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 recuperate
from their back pain symptoms due to lumbar disc herniation was 13.6 months
(give or take 5.4 months). (1) Lucky
for our Auburn back pain patients, Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. pursues 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 a potential back surgery if there are no indications
for immediate surgery necessity. (1) Yes!
