Fort Wayne Chiropractic Non-Surgical Relief for a Disc Herniation in the Neck

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]] welcomes the challenge of Fort Wayne neck pain with radiculopathy with this knowledge and confidently approaches neck pain and arm pain due to cervical disc herniation with pain relief as the end result. The Fort Wayne treatment plan for cervical spine pain is ready for you!
