West Des Moines Non-Surgical Care Delivers Back Pain Reliefand MRI Images Show it

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

Medicine notes that back pain relief is achievable non—surgicall! Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is excited to see this latest back pain treatment study. Researchers followed patients with lumbar disc herniations (most at L4-5 and L5-S1). These patients were 38 years old on average, just the age when that really bad back pain episode seems to come on according to spinal researchers. These patients suffered with low back pain and sciatica that extends into one or both legs. Many patients had previously attempted relief with physiotherapy and other medical treatment to no avail before this intervention. (1) That sounds quite familiar for West Des Moines back pain patients pursing relief at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa! We find that so many of the West Des Moines back pain patients seeking care at this chiropractic office have tried many other means to alleviate their back pain. All they want is relief now.  Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is ready to produce 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 demonstrate improvement as they improved symptomatically and experienced relief of their back pain and sciatic leg pain. (1) Note that the size of the disc herniation on MRI does not influence clinical outcome. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa says this continuously! Executive Chiropractic of Iowa has written many posts about this very topic: the size of the disc herniation does not matter! Neither early back surgery nor conservative care for back pain relief showed any significant outcome differences. (2)  The average time for patients to recover from their back pain symptoms due to lumbar disc herniation was 13.6 months (give or take 5.4 months). (1) Fortunately for our West Des Moines back pain patients, Executive Chiropractic of Iowa seeks at least 50% relief of pain in the first 30 days and finds that 91% of our patients get relief in 3 months.
