Often, the Easley disc herniation treatment at Young Chiropractic effectively relieves back pain for those with disc herniation. (Veterinarians treat dachshunds’ discs conservatively, too!)

NON-SURGICAL DISC HERNIATION RELIEF

Back pain sufferers with disc herniations state benefit from non-surgical treatment. A study of Medicare patients with chronic low back pain related higher quality of life scores and greater satisfaction with their spinal manipulative therapy care than those managed with prescription drug therapy. (1) Low back pain sufferers in a randomized control trial who were treated with chiropractic (Cox® Technic) flexion distraction management for their low back pain experienced significantly greater pain relief than those who went through physical therapy’s active trunk exercise protocol. The patients who also experienced radiculopathy - spine-related extremity leg pain - were significantly better being treated with flexion distraction decompression manipulation. (2) Humans - and dachshunds - can be so well-cared for with the proper care! A cute side-story that appeared while doing research for this article: 34 of 40 long-spined dachshunds with T3-L3 myelopathy presumedly related to disc herniation did quite well with non-surgical treatment, particularly those who began care with motor function undamaged. They had low recurrence rates at 1 year (5%) and 2 years (11%), too. (3) Conservative care for spine pain, disc herniation, back pain, and leg pain is successful for many!

Young Chiropractic uses spinal manipulation among other services to improve balance in older patients at risk of falling and those with spinal stenosis.

Easley CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Keep Your Balance: Stenosis, Fall Risk, Manipulation

In older folks, a greater risk of fracture in the coming year was related to a recent fall within the past 4 months. (4) Risk of a recurrent fall for men and women or an injury from a fall in women was increased in those with severe low back pain or extremity leg pain. (5) Suggested physical, psychological, and environmental goals in handling fall-risk in the elderly included improved muscle function, lessened fear of falling, and increased balance. (6) With balance improvement in mind, a new study evaluated a treatment protocol including (Cox® Technic) flexion distraction spinal manipulation for older persons with lumbar spinal stenosis. Balance test outcomes improved. Subjective score outcomes were statistically and clinically meaningful. (7) Easley balance is so crucial. Together, Young Chiropractic and you can work to improve yours and/or that of a loved one.
