The frustration of Lynchburg back
pain: It hurts. It messes up life. It doesn’t always
react positively to the best-intended care programs: back surgery
or conservative. That’s why Palmer Chiropractic Center
exists. Palmer Chiropractic Center is here to help Lynchburg back
pain and neck pain patients discover an alternative that functions
for their Lynchburg back pain relief goal.
BACK PAIN OPTIONS
There are many Lynchburg back pain
relief plan options! New research shares
some fascinating findings. Let’s look at
opioids and Tylenol for back pain relief. There is no difference
in low back pain relief and radicular extremity pain (leg pain sciatica) relief
between taking Tylenol and using powerful opioid
drugs. (1) Melatonin defends the intervertebral disc’s
nucleus pulposus cells from apoptosis (cell death) and blocked
disc degeneration. (2) Melatonin does this. There is
hope for disc degeneration’s reversal. And what about this study? Spontaneous
resorption of a lumbar herniated disc seen on MRI was observed
in all of 9 patients who had back pain and sciatic leg
pain, declined back surgery, and had
no motor deficit! It required a mean of about 8.7 months. Clinical
relief with conservative treatment came about in a mean of just 5.7
weeks. (3) That is exciting news! The discs
resorbed.
BACK SURGERY DECISIONS
What compels a patient to choose Lynchburg back surgery over other options? The patient’s ideas
about the treatment may be based on insufficient
information. The time it takes a patient to make a decision
may be sped up because of scheduling when the patient is
one who needs time to really think about the options.
The patient’s not wanting to disturb the system, disappoint
the healthcare provider by refusing recommended treatment. The
patient’s past experiences with treatment options as undertaken
by relatives or friends and the resultant good or bad outcomes.
Choosing back surgery or a non-surgical treatment plan for low back and/or leg
pain due to a disc herniation is a big, complex decision. (4)
It is a decision-making process Palmer Chiropractic Center understands
well, that Palmer Chiropractic Center has helped many Lynchburg
