Guidelines are the way of healthcare today. There
are best-evidence guidelines for everything from how to manage psoriasis
to kidney disease to back pain. There are
best-evidence guidelines for most professions from allergy and immunology to
urology. Chiropractic care is in the mix as is back pain and
neck pain management. Such guidelines present
a base for physicians like your Fort Wayne chiropractor to practice and
Fort Wayne chiropractic patients to know
that they are being treated with the
best evidenced care. Healthcare guidelines continue to evolve,
and guidelines for neck pain due to cervical disc herniation point to
an 8 to 12 week wait before surgical intervention which is just enough time for
Fort Wayne chiropractic care at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic to potentially thwart
Fort Wayne back surgery for many.
In Europe, national guidelines for the non-surgical care of recent
onset neck pain or cervical radiculopathy (arm pain) are presented: Supervised exercise with manual therapy.
Exercise and manual therapy before medicine for neck pain. Acupuncture for neck
pain. Traction for cervical radiculopathy. NSAIDs (oral or topical) and
tramadol after careful consideration for both neck pain and cervical
radiculopathy. The guidelines also suggest
informing the patient about warning signs, prognosis and advice
to keep active along with treatment.
(1) Good advice! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is committed to
Fort Wayne chiropractic patient education. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic wants
to be sure Fort Wayne patients are familiar with their spinal
condition, understand the treatment plan to relieve the
pain, and embrace their role in achieving, keeping
and holding onto the relief so that they do not
have to experience arm pain or neck pain any longer than they
have to or need to experience Fort Wayne neck
surgery.
A study of Dutch neurosurgeons reveals that
76.3% of them use the anterior cervical discectomy with
fusion for cervical spine disc herniation surgeries. This requires
them to get at the cervical spine through the front
of the neck, not the back. This surgical approach has more risk for complications than just an
anterior cervical discectomy, but the surgeons think it to
be more helpful for arm pain relief. In view of
the risk, fortunately, the surgeons look for a minimum
of 8 to 12 weeks of radicular arm pain in a patient in advance of a neck surgery. (2) That gives
Fort Wayne chiropractic care just enough time to lessen
Fort Wayne neck pain.
In 8 weeks, Fort Wayne chiropractic care at
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic with Cox Technic can do wonders! In a retrospective
review of 39 patients treated with Cox Technic protocols for cervical spine in
patients with cervical radiculopathy (arm pain), only 13.2 treatment visits
were required to give patients arm pain relief. (3)
In 10 weeks, Cox Technic produces a favorable
clinical outcome that keeps going! A 2 year follow up with a
patient who had a C6-7 cervical disc herniation with radiculopathy arm pain showed
that subjective and objective signs or relief were stable. (4) In the
conservative medical care arena, 83% patients with
symptomatic cervical spine disc herniation with radiculopathy recover in about 24 to 36 months with the most progress toward recovery occurring in the first 4 to 6 months. (5) [companyname]]
