pain: It hurts. It disrupts life. It doesn’t always

or conservative. That’s why Malverne Health & Wellness

pain and neck pain patients find an alternative that works

BACK PAIN OPTIONS
There are lots of Malverne back pain
relief plan options! Recent research shares
some fascinating findings. Let us consider
opioids and Tylenol for back pain relief. There’s no difference
in low back pain relief and radicular extremity pain (leg pain sciatica) relief
between taking Tylenol and taking powerful opioid
drugs. (1) Melatonin protects the intervertebral disc’s
nucleus pulposus cells from apoptosis (cell death) and stopped
disc degeneration. (2) Melatonin accomplishes this. There’s
hope for disc degeneration’s reversal. And what about this study? Spontaneous
resorption of a lumbar herniated disc seen on MRI was observed
in all of 9 patients who experienced back pain and sciatic leg
pain, refused back surgery, and demonstrated
no motor deficit! It required a mean of about 8.7 months. Clinical
relief with conservative treatment came about in a mean of just 5.7
weeks. (3) That’s exciting news! The discs
resorbed.
BACK SURGERY DECISIONS
What makes a patient choose Malverne back surgery over other options? The patient’s ideas
about the treatment may be based on insufficient
information. The time required for a patient to decide
may be sped up because of scheduling when the patient is
one who needs time to really think about the decision.
The patient’s not wanting to distress the system, upset
the healthcare provider by refusing recommended treatment. The
patient’s earlier experiences with treatment options as taken
by relatives or friends and the resultant good or bad outcomes.
Choosing back surgery or a non-surgical treatment plan for low back and/or leg
pain due to a disc herniation is a considerably complex decision. (4)

well, that Malverne Health & Wellness has helped many Malverne
