Relief Possible Without Back Surgery

Medicine notes that back pain relief is possible non—surgicall! Hollstrom & Associates Inc is happy 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 when that really bad back pain episode seems to come on according to spinal researchers. These patients hurt with low back pain and sciatica that went into one or both legs. Several patients had already attempted relief with physiotherapy and other medical treatment without relief before this trial. (1) Largo back pain patients at Hollstrom & Associates Inc have read this story before…or lived it! We learn that so many of the Largo back pain patients coming to the office have tried many other tactics to get rid of their back pain. All they want is relief now. Hollstrom & Associates Inc is ready to produce it.

Give Some Time to Treatment and Relief

These researchers found that conservative medical care (like bed rest and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, gels) given enough time eased these back pain patients’ pain. They didn’t have to undergo 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 doesn’t affect clinical outcome. Hollstrom & Associates Inc says this a lot! Hollstrom & Associates Inc posted many articles 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 Largo back pain patients, Hollstrom & Associates Inc pursues at least 50% relief of pain in the first 30 days and finds that 91% of our patients get relief in 3 months. (3) The authors advise their colleagues that such relief is potential and should be considered when deciding a potential back surgery if there are no indications for immediate surgical intervention.
