New York City Conservative Care Gives Back Pain Reliefand MRI Images Show it

May 23, 2017

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

Now, that is an age-old question for both doctors and back pain and leg pain sufferers. Rosenberg Wellness Center ponders it from time to time and knows that New York City back pain and leg pain sufferers find relief with New York City chiropractic care. Rosenberg Wellness Center recognizes the symptoms to be alert to that would send a patient to back surgery. Beyond those, Rosenberg Wellness Center is experienced in the conservative care of back pain and leg pain to get the New York City back pain patient’s desired pain relief.
 
Relief Possible Without Back Surgery 

Medicine notices that back pain relief is possible conservatively! Rosenberg Wellness Center is happy to see this latest back pain treatment study. Researchers followed 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 hurt with low back pain and sciatica that went into one or both legs. Many patients had already tried physiotherapy and other medical treatment without relief before this trial. (1) New York City back pain patients at Rosenberg Wellness Center have read this story before…or lived it! We find that so many of the New York City back pain patients coming to the office have tried many other tactics to free themselves from their back pain. All they want is relief now.  Rosenberg Wellness Center is prepared to produce it.

Give Some Time to Treatment and Relief 

These researchers report that conservative medical care (like bed rest and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, gels) granted enough time eased these back pain patients’ pain. They didn’t have to undergo 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. Rosenberg Wellness Center says this a lot! Rosenberg Wellness Center posted many articles 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 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 New York City back pain patients, Rosenberg Wellness Center seeks 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 caution their colleagues that such relief is possible and should be considered in the decision-making process about a potential back surgery if there are no signs for immediate surgery necessity. (1) Yes! Rosenberg Wellness Center helps New York City back pain and leg pain patients when they want non-surgical care for their pain.
