Back surgery. Non-surgical care. What’s the

it over on occasion and knows
that Pensacola back pain and leg pain sufferers do well
with Pensacola

the symptoms to look for that would send a patient to back surgery. Beyond those, Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center is skilled

Relief Possible Without Back Surgery
Medicine notes that back pain relief is feasible
non—surgicall! Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center is happy
to see this latest back pain treatment study. Researchers tracked patients with lumbar disc
herniations (most at L4-5 and L5-S1). These patients were 38 years old on
average, just the age that spinal research
reports as average for back pain sufferers to have a bad case of back pain that’s
been building for years. These patients suffered with low back
pain and sciatica that extends into one or both legs. Many
patients had already attempted relief with physiotherapy
and other medical treatment without relief
before this intervention. (1) Pensacola back pain patients at
Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center have read this story before…or lived it! We notice
that so many of the Pensacola back pain patients coming to the office have attempted many other means
to get rid of their back pain. All they
want is relief now. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center is ready
to produce it.
Give Some Time to Treatment and Relief
These researchers found that conservative
medical care (like bed rest and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle
relaxants, gels) granted enough time helped
these back pain patients’ pain. They did not have to undergo back surgery. Their MRI studies even show
improvement as they improved symptomatically and felt relief of their back pain and sciatic leg pain. (1)
Notice that the size of the disc herniation on MRI does not
influence clinical outcome. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center says this continuously! Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center has written
many posts about this very topic: the size of the disc herniation doesn’t matter! Not early back surgery or conservative care for back pain relief showed any
significant outcome differences. (2) The average time for patients to recuperate
from their back pain symptoms due to lumbar disc herniation was 13.6 months
(give or take 5.4 months). (1) Lucky
for our Pensacola back pain patients, Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center pursues at least 50% relief of pain in the first 30 days and discovers
that 91% of our patients get relief in 3 months. (3) The authors
advise their colleagues that such relief
is potential and should be taken into account
in the decision-making process about a potential back surgery if there are no signs
for immediate surgical intervention. (1) Yes!
