If you�ve been experiencing back pain that is affecting your everyday activities, it�s time to see a doctor, but it�s always good to have an idea of what�s in store before you schedule an appointment. Of course, your treatment will vary depending on your precise diagnosis and other factors, but this article should give you a general idea about some common spinal treatments.
Before they ever begin discussion the possibility of spinal surgery, doctors will often prescribe patients with NSAIDs for daily pain management in order to make regular activities more bearable. They might also recommend that patients wear back braces in order to provide the support their backs may need, especially in the cases of elderly patients and those with weaker abdominal muscles. Because the braces can act in place of strong core muscles, they may help relieve the stress placed on the back throughout the day.
If these rather simple daily changes don�t provide the relief you�re seeking, you can always look into more drastic changes, including the possibility of using alternative therapies as complementary treatments. Many patients turn to chiropractors for help, but be sure to consult with your physician before starting regular treatments. Chiropractors apply traction to the spine in order to increase the space between vertebrae and reduce the pressure on nerves throughout the spine. Another alternative is acupuncture therapy, which relies on the careful placement of solid, thin, metal needles into the back to help relieve pain. Although the medical community at large might not be convinced of the efficacy of these techniques, many patients swear by them.
If a combination of medication, alternative therapies, and physical therapy doesn�t produce a desirable result, it might be time to turn to surgery. Back surgery has been cause for concern among patients over the years, often because the surgeries have a bad reputation. It isn�t hard to see why the idea of having your muscles cut open and then having your spine operated on can be unnerving, especially considering that even a surgery that is performed correctly could lead to months of painful recovery. In an effort to make spine surgery quicker, reduce recovery times, and produce better results, surgeons have developed minimally invasive surgery options. Rather than requiring the general anesthesia and painful cutting of back muscles required by open-back surgeries, endoscopic methods require only local anesthesia (and a sedative to ensure the patient is asleep for the surgery) and a small incision. The surgeon then opens the incision gradually by inserting progressively larger tubes into the cut until they have finally worked up to a tube about the width of a straw which can be used to insert all the tools needed to perform surgery. As a result of this more cautious and less invasive approach, recovery times are drastically reduced, and some patients might even experience relief from their symptoms as soon as the surgery is completed, depending on their particular spine problems.
No matter which route you and your doctor choose to take on your way to recovery, be sure to ask questions to fully understand your condition and the treatment being recommended for you.
