That is why Aaron Chiropractic Clinic exists. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is here to help Fort Wayne back pain and neck pain patients find an alternative that functions for their Fort Wayne back pain relief goal.

BACK PAIN OPTIONS

There are many Fort Wayne back pain relief plan options! Recent research reveals some interesting findings. Let’s look at 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 protects the intervertebral disc’s nucleus pulposus cells from apoptosis (cell death) and halted 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 observed in all of 9 patients who experienced back pain and sciatic leg pain, rejected back surgery, and had no motor deficit! It required a mean of about 8.7 months. Clinical relief with conservative treatment came about in a mean of just 5.7 weeks. (3) That is exciting news! The discs resorbed.

BACK SURGERY DECISIONS

What makes a patient decide on Fort Wayne back surgery over other options? The patient’s ideas about the treatment may be based on inadequate information. The time it takes a patient to decide may be sped up because of scheduling when the patient is one who needs time to really think about the decision. The patient’s not wanting to upset the system, upset the healthcare provider by rejecting recommended treatment. The patient’s earlier experiences with treatment options as undertaken by relatives or friends and the resulting 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. (4) It is a decision-making process Aaron Chiropractic Clinic understands well, that Aaron Chiropractic Clinic has helped many Fort Wayne chiropractic patients to make.
