That’s the reason Satterwhite Chiropractic exists. Satterwhite Chiropractic is here to help Oxford back pain and neck pain patients discover an alternative that works for their Oxford back pain relief goal.
BACK PAIN OPTIONS
There are lots of Oxford back pain relief plan options! Recent research reveals some interesting findings. Let us consider opioids and Tylenol for back pain relief. There is no difference in low back pain relief and radicular extremity pain (leg pain sciatica) relief between taking Tylenol and taking powerful opioid drugs. (1) Melatonin guards the intervertebral disc’s nucleus pulposus cells from apoptosis (cell death) and stopped disc degeneration. (2) Melatonin does this. There’s hope for disc degeneration’s reversal. And what about this study? Spontaneous resorption of a lumbar herniated disc seen on MRI was seen in all of 9 patients who experienced back pain and sciatic leg pain, refused back surgery, and had no motor deficit! It took a mean of about 8.7 months. Clinical relief with conservative treatment took a mean of just 5.7 weeks. (3) That’s rousing news! The discs resorbed.
BACK SURGERY DECISIONS
What compels a patient to pick Oxford back surgery over other options? The patient’s ideas about the treatment may potentially based on inadequate information. The time required for a patient to make a decision may be rushed because of scheduling when the patient is one who requires time to really think about the options. The patient’s not wanting to disturb the system, upset the healthcare provider by rejecting recommended treatment. The patient’s past experiences with treatment options as taken by relatives or friends and the resultant good or bad outcomes. Choosing back surgery or a non-surgical treatment plan for low back and/or leg pain due to a disc herniation is a considerably complex decision.
