Back surgery. Non-surgical care. What’s best for back pain and leg pain?

Medicine notices that back pain relief is feasible non—surgicall! Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is enthusiastic 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 when that really bad back pain episode seems to come on according to spinal researchers. These patients suffered with low back pain and sciatica that extends into one or both legs. Many patients had previously tried physiotherapy and other medical treatment without relief before this intervention.

We notice that so many of the Manchester back pain patients seeking care at this chiropractic office have tried many other means to free themselves from their back pain.

These researchers found that conservative medical care (like bed rest and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, gels) given enough time improved these back pain patients’ pain. They did not have to go through back surgery. Their MRI studies even demonstrate improvement as they improved symptomatically and experienced relief of their back pain and sciatic leg pain. (1) Note that the size of the disc herniation on MRI does not influence clinical outcome. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries says this all the time! Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries has written many posts about this very topic: the size of the disc herniation does not matter! Not early back surgery or conservative care for back pain relief showed any significant difference in outcomes.
