NON-SURGICAL DISC HERNIATION RELIEF
Back pain sufferers with disc
herniations describe benefit from non-surgical treatment. A study of Medicare patients with
chronic low back pain related higher quality of life
scores and more satisfaction with their spinal manipulative
therapy care than those managed with prescription drug therapy. (1)
Low back pain sufferers in a randomized control trial who were treated with chiropractic (Cox® Technic) flexion distraction management for
their low back pain experienced significantly greater pain
relief than those who were treated with
physical therapy’s active trunk exercise protocol. The back pain sufferers
who also experienced radiculopathy - spine-related extremity sciatica - were significantly better being
treated with flexion distraction decompression manipulation. (2) Humans - and
dachshunds - can be so well-cared for with the proper treatment
plan! A cute side-story that appeared
while doing research for this blog: 34 of 40 long-spined
dachshunds with T3-L3 myelopathy supposedly related
to disc herniation responded well to non-surgical
treatment, especially those who started care
with motor function undamaged. They had minimal recurrence
rates at 1 year (5%) and 2 years (11%), too. (3) Conservative care for spine
pain, disc herniation, back pain, and leg pain is successful
for many!
San Jose CHIROPRACTIC TIP
OF THE MONTH:
Keep Your Balance: Stenosis, Fall Risk, Manipulation
In older people, a higher risk of
fracture over the following year was related to a recent fall within the past 4 months. (4) Risk of a
recurrent fall for men and women or an injury from a fall in women was increased
in those with severe low back pain or extremity leg pain. (5) Suggested physical,
psychological, and environmental objectives in handling
fall-risk in the elderly included muscle
function improvement, lessened fear of falling, and
better balance. (6) With balance improvement in mind,
a recent study analyzed a treatment protocol including
(Cox® Technic) flexion distraction spinal manipulation for older persons
with lumbar spinal stenosis. Balance test
outcomes got better. Subjective score outcomes were
statistically and clinically meaningful. (7) San Jose balance is so essential.
Together, Chiropractic Solutions and you can work to improve yours and/or that of a loved
one.
