Burlington and Hamilton Non-Surgical Care Delivers Back Pain Reliefand MRI Images Show it

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

Medicine notes that back pain relief is feasible non—surgicall! Spinal Care Clinic is happy to see this latest back pain treatment study. Researchers monitored 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 hurt with low back pain and sciatica that extends into one or both legs. Several patients had already tried physiotherapy and other medical treatment to no avail before this intervention. (1) Burlington and Hamilton back pain patients at Spinal Care Clinic have heard this story before…or lived it! We notice that so many of the Burlington and Hamilton back pain patients coming to the office have attempted many other tactics to free themselves from their back pain. All they want is relief now.  Spinal Care Clinic is prepared to give it.

These researchers report that conservative medical care (like bed rest and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, gels) allowed enough time eased these back pain patients’ pain. They did not have to go through back surgery. Their MRI studies even show improvement as they improved symptomatically and felt back pain and sciatica relief. (1) Notice that the size of the disc herniation on MRI doesn’t influence clinical outcome. Spinal Care Clinic says this all the time! Spinal Care Clinic 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 difference in outcomes. (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 Burlington and Hamilton back pain patients, Spinal Care Clinic looks for at least 50% relief of pain in the first 30 days and discovers that 91% of our patients get relief in 3 months.
