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 greater satisfaction with their spinal manipulative
therapy care than those treated with prescription drug therapy. (1)
Low back pain sufferers in a randomized control trial who underwent chiropractic (Cox® Technic) flexion distraction management for
their low back pain received significantly greater pain
relief than those who had
physical therapy’s active trunk exercise protocol. The patients
who had 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 right treatment
plan! An interesting side-story that appeared
while doing research for this blog: 34 of 40 long-spined
dachshunds with T3-L3 myelopathy presumedly related
to disc herniation responded well to non-surgical
treatment, especially those who began 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!
Murfreesboro CHIROPRACTIC TIP
OF THE MONTH:
Keep Your Balance: Stenosis, Fall Risk, Manipulation
In older people, a higher risk of
fracture in the coming year was related to a fresh 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 goals in managing
fall-risk in the elderly included improved muscle function, lessened fear of falling, and
better balance. (6) With balance improvement in mind,
a recent study evaluated a treatment protocol incorporating
(Cox® Technic) flexion distraction spinal manipulation for older patients
with lumbar spinal stenosis. Balance test
outcomes improved. Subjective score outcomes were
statistically and clinically meaningful. (7) Murfreesboro balance is so crucial.
