Back surgery. Non-surgical care. What is best for back pain and leg pain?

Manahawkin Chiropractic Center mulls it over from time to time and often concludes that Manahawkin back pain and leg pain sufferers do well with Manahawkin chiropractic care. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center recognizes the symptoms to be alert to that would send a patient to back surgery. Beyond those, Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is skilled in the conservative care of back pain and leg pain to produce the pain relief our Manahawkin chiropractic patients want.

Relief Possible Without Back Surgery

Medicine notes that back pain relief is possible conservatively! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is enthusiastic to see this latest back pain treatment study. Researchers followed 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 went into one or both legs. Several patients had previously tried physiotherapy and other medical treatment unsuccessfully before this intervention. (1) Manahawkin back pain patients at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center have read this story before…or lived it! We learn that so many of the Manahawkin back pain patients seeking care at this chiropractic office have attempted many other approaches to alleviate their back pain. They just want relief now. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is poised 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) allowed enough time improved these back pain patients’ pain. They did not have to go through 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 influence clinical outcome. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center says this continuously! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center posted many articles about this very topic: the size of the disc herniation doesn’t matter! Not early back surgery or conservative care for back pain relief showed any significant outcome differences. (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 Manahawkin back pain patients, Manahawkin Chiropractic Center looks for 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 share this warning with their colleagues that such relief is potential and should be considered when deciding whether to do back surgery if there are no signs for immediate surgery necessity.
