GIVE IT TIME…AND Fernandina Beach CHIROPRACTIC!
 
Leg pain (sciatic radiculopathy) and loss of motor strength obviously worry Fernandina Beach back pain patients. ”When will I get back to ‘normal’?” is a usual question. Keep in mind that studies show that treatment results are very comparable for surgical and non-surgical care of disc herniation patients with leg radiculopathy. (1) One benchmark study stated that loss of motor strength because of sciatic nerve damage returned over 3 years with 10% in 6 months, 30% at 1 year, 50% at 2 years and 75% at 3 years. (2) A recent article concurs: Improvement occurs over time regardless of treatment (surgery or non-surgery). The majority of patients in this latest study did not pick surgery. Nearly all of them recovered full strength at 1 year with it characteristically occurring in the first 3 months while on-going recovery lasted a year. (3) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic urges you to not hold back. Ask Amelia Chiropractic Clinic the tough questions. We’ll share with you the research-based answers for you to ponder.

 Amelia Chiropractic Clinic sees benefit in recommending back belts to back pain sufferers.

Fernandina Beach CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Back Belts Help

Fernandina Beach back pain patients fear moving, worried that they may cause pain. Back belts and braces decrease pain and fear of pain and foster a return to usual activities of life. (4) For spinal stenosis patients with back pain, back belts enhanced their walking distance. (5) And for acute compression fractures, a back brace is typically implemented. A soft brace was just as effective as a rigid brace to avoid spinal deformity, improve quality of life, and lessen back pain. (6) Back belts are not needed forever, but for temporary and for certain conditions, they are beneficial!
