Relief Possible Without Back Surgery

Medicine notices that back pain relief is viable conservatively! Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is enthusiastic to see this latest back pain treatment study. A group of medical doctors tracked patients with lumbar disc herniations (most at L4-5 and L5-S1). These patients averaged 38 years old, just the age that spinal research reports as average for back pain sufferers to have a bad case of back pain that’s been building for years. These patients hurt with low back pain and sciatica that went into one or both legs. Several patients had previously attempted relief with physiotherapy and other medical treatment to no avail before this intervention.

These researchers report that conservative medical care (like bed rest and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, gels) granted 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 felt relief of their back pain and sciatic leg pain. (1) Notice that the size of the disc herniation on MRI doesn’t influence clinical outcome. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC says this a lot! Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC has written many posts about this very topic: the size of the disc herniation doesn’t matter! Not early back surgery or conservative care for back pain relief showed any significant difference in outcomes.

(1) Lucky for our La Grande back pain patients, Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC seeks at least 50% relief of pain in the first 30 days and discovers that 91% of our patients get relief in 3 months.
