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

Now, that is an age-old question for back pain and leg pain sufferers and doctors alike. Minster Chiropractic Center ponders it from time to time and often concludes that Minster back pain and leg pain sufferers do well with Minster chiropractic care. Minster Chiropractic Center recognizes the symptoms to be alert to that would send a patient to back surgery. Beyond those, Minster Chiropractic Center is skilled in the conservative care of back pain and leg pain to deliver the pain relief our Minster chiropractic patients are seeking.
 
Relief Possible Without Back Surgery 

Medicine notes that back pain relief is feasible conservatively! Minster Chiropractic Center is excited to see this latest back pain treatment study. Researchers tracked patients with lumbar disc herniations (most at L4-5 and L5-S1). These patients averaged 38 years old, 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 extends into one or both legs. Many patients had already tried physiotherapy and other medical treatment unsuccessfully before this trial. (1) That sounds quite familiar for Minster back pain patients seeking care at Minster Chiropractic Center! We find that so many of the Minster back pain patients coming to the office have attempted many other tactics to alleviate their back pain. They just want relief now.  Minster Chiropractic Center is ready to produce 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 eased these back pain patients’ pain. They did not have to have back surgery. Their MRI studies even show improvement as they improved symptomatically and felt back pain and sciatica relief. (1) Notice that the size of the disc herniation on MRI does not influence clinical outcome. Minster Chiropractic Center says this all the time! Minster Chiropractic Center 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 Minster back pain patients, Minster Chiropractic Center 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 share this warning with their colleagues that such relief is conceivable and should be considered when deciding whether to do back surgery if there are no signs for immediate surgical intervention. (1) Yes! Minster Chiropractic Center helps Minster back pain and leg pain patients when they want non-surgical care for their pain.
