Guidelines are the way of healthcare today. There
are best-evidence guidelines for everything from how to manage arthritis
to heart disease to back pain. There are
best-evidence guidelines for most professions from allergy and immunology to
urology. Chiropractic care is in the mix as is back pain and
neck pain management. Such guidelines present
a base for physicians like your Richmond chiropractor to practice and
Richmond 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
Richmond chiropractic care at Johnson Chiropractic to potentially prevent
Richmond back surgery for many.
In Europe, national guidelines for the non-surgical care of recent
start 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
telling the patient about warning signs, prognosis and advice
to keep active along with treatment.
(1) Good advice! Johnson Chiropractic is devoted to
Richmond chiropractic patient education. Johnson Chiropractic makes sure Richmond patients know their spinal
condition, comprehend the treatment plan to relieve the
pain, and accept their role in achieving, maintaining
and supporting 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 undergo Richmond neck
surgery.
A study of Dutch neurosurgeons reveals that
76.3% of them implement the anterior cervical discectomy with
fusion for cervical spine disc herniation surgeries. This requires
them to reach the cervical spine via the front
of the neck, not the back. This surgical approach has more risk for complications than just an
anterior cervical discectomy, but the surgeons expect it to
be more effective for arm pain relief. Considering
the risk, fortunately, the surgeons look for a minimum
of 8 to 12 weeks of radicular arm pain in a patient before they operate. (2) That offers
Richmond chiropractic care just enough time to lessen
Richmond neck pain.

symptomatic cervical spine disc herniation with radiculopathy find
