Nashua Chiropractic Non-Surgical Relief for a Disc Herniation in the Neck

July 04, 2017

Guidelines are part of healthcare today. There are best-evidence guidelines for everything from how to manage psoriasis to kidney disease to back pain. There are best-evidence guidelines for most professions from allergy and immunology to urology. Chiropractic care is part of it all as is back pain and neck pain management. Such guidelines present a base for physicians like your Nashua chiropractor to practice and Nashua chiropractic patients to realize that  they are being treated with the best evidenced care. Healthcare guidelines keep evolving, and guidelines for neck pain due to cervical disc herniation indicate an 8 to 12 week wait before surgical intervention which is just enough time for Nashua chiropractic care at Moriarty Chiropractic to potentially prevent Nashua back surgery for many.

In Europe, national guidelines for the non-surgical care of recent onset neck pain or cervical radiculopathy (arm pain) are shared:  Supervised exercise with manual therapy. Exercise and manual therapy before medicine for neck pain. Acupuncture for neck pain. Traction for cervical radiculopathy. NSAIDs (oral or topical) and tramadol after careful consideration for both neck pain and cervical radiculopathy.  The guidelines also propose informing the patient about warning signs, prognosis and advice to keep active along with treatment.  (1) Good advice! Moriarty Chiropractic is committed to Nashua chiropractic patient education. Moriarty Chiropractic makes sure Nashua patients know their spinal condition, understand the treatment plan to reduce pain, and accept their role in getting, keeping and holding onto the relief so that they do not have to suffer with arm pain or neck pain any longer than they have to or need to experience Nashua neck surgery.

A study of Dutch neurosurgeons shows30 that 76.3% of them use the anterior cervical discectomy with fusion for cervical spine disc herniation surgeries. This means that they reach the cervical spine via the front of the neck, not the back. This surgical approach brings with it more risk for complications than just an anterior cervical discectomy, but the surgeons expect it to be more effective for arm pain relief. In view of the risk, fortunately, the surgeons seek a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks of radicular arm pain in a patient in advance of a neck surgery. (2) That offers Nashua chiropractic care just enough time to reduce Nashua neck pain.

In 8 weeks, Nashua chiropractic care at Moriarty Chiropractic with Cox Technic can amaze! In a retrospective review of 39 patients treated with Cox Technic protocols for cervical spine in patients with cervical radiculopathy (arm pain), only 13.2 treatment visits were required to give patients arm pain relief. (3) In 10 weeks, Cox Technic produces a favorable clinical outcome that lasts! A 2 year follow up with a patient who had a C6-7 cervical disc herniation with radiculopathy arm pain revealed that subjective and objective signs or relief were steady. (4) In the conservative medical care arena, 83% patients with symptomatic cervical spine disc herniation with radiculopathy find relief in about 24 to 36 months with the most progress toward recovery happening in the first 4 to 6 months.
