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. McMurray Chiropractic Solutions ponders it from time to time and knows
that San Jose back pain and leg pain sufferers find relief
with San Jose
chiropractic care. McMurray Chiropractic Solutions recognizes
the symptoms to be alert to that would indicate
necessity for back surgery. Beyond those, McMurray Chiropractic Solutions is skilled
in the conservative care of back pain and leg pain to produce the
pain relief our San Jose chiropractic patients are
seeking.
Relief Possible Without Back Surgery
Medicine notices that back pain relief is possible
conservatively! McMurray Chiropractic Solutions is excited
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 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. Many
patients had previously attempted relief with physiotherapy
and other medical treatment to no avail
before this trial. (1) San Jose back pain patients at
McMurray Chiropractic Solutions have read this story before…or lived it! We notice
that so many of the San Jose back pain patients coming to the office have attempted many other approaches
to alleviate their back pain. They just want relief now. McMurray Chiropractic Solutions is prepared
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) given 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 back
pain and sciatica relief. (1)
Notice that the size of the disc herniation on MRI doesn’t
affect clinical outcome. McMurray Chiropractic Solutions says this continuously! McMurray Chiropractic Solutions 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 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 San Jose back pain patients, McMurray Chiropractic Solutions 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
advise their colleagues that such relief
is conceivable and should be considered
when deciding a potential back surgery if there are no signs
for immediate surgical intervention. (1) Yes!
