Minster Chiropractic Non-Surgical Relief for a Disc Herniation in the Neck

July 04, 2017

Guidelines are the way of healthcare today. There are best-evidence guidelines for everything from how to manage psoriasis to heart disease to neck pain. There are best-evidence guidelines for most professions from allergy and immunology to urology. Chiropractic care is in the mix as is back pain and neck pain management. Such guidelines present a base for physicians like your Minster chiropractor to practice and Minster chiropractic patients to know that  they are being treated with the best evidenced care. Healthcare guidelines keep evolving, and guidelines for neck pain due to cervical disc herniation indicate an 8 to 12 week wait before surgical intervention which is just enough time for Minster chiropractic care at Minster Chiropractic Center to potentially thwart Minster back surgery for many.

In Europe, national guidelines for the non-surgical care of recent start neck pain or cervical radiculopathy (arm pain) are presented:  Supervised exercise with manual therapy. Exercise and manual therapy before medicine for neck pain. Acupuncture for neck pain. Traction for cervical radiculopathy. NSAIDs (oral or topical) and tramadol after careful consideration for both neck pain and cervical radiculopathy.  The guidelines also recommend telling the patient about warning signs, prognosis and advice to keep active along with treatment.  (1) Good advice! Minster Chiropractic Center is devoted to Minster chiropractic patient education. Minster Chiropractic Center wants to be sure Minster patients know their spinal condition, understand the treatment plan to reduce pain, and embrace their role in achieving, maintaining and supporting the relief so that they don’t have to suffer with arm pain or neck pain any longer than they have to or have to experience Minster neck surgery.

A study of Dutch neurosurgeons reveals that 76.3% of them implement the anterior cervical discectomy with fusion for cervical spine disc herniation surgeries. This means that they reach the cervical spine through the front of the neck, not the back. This surgical approach brings with it a higher risk for complications than just an anterior cervical discectomy, but the surgeons believe it to be more effective for arm pain relief. Considering the risk, luckily, the surgeons seek a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks of radicular arm pain in a patient in advance of a neck surgery. (2) That offers Minster chiropractic care just enough time to reduce Minster neck pain.

In 8 weeks, Minster chiropractic care at Minster Chiropractic Center with Cox Technic can amaze! In a retrospective review of 39 patients treated with Cox Technic protocols for cervical spine in patients with cervical radiculopathy (arm pain), 13.2 treatments was the mean number of treatments to produce arm pain relief. (3) In 10 weeks, Cox Technic produces a good clinical outcome that lasts! A 2 year follow up with a patient who had a C6-7 cervical disc herniation with radiculopathy arm pain revealed that subjective and objective signs or relief were stable. (4) In conservative medicine, 83% patients with symptomatic cervical spine disc herniation with radiculopathy recover in about 24 to 36 months with the most progress toward pain relief occurring in the first 4 to 6 months.
