Guidelines are the way of healthcare today. There
are best-evidence guidelines for everything from how to manage psoriasis
to heart disease to neck 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 offer
a base for physicians like your Baton Rouge chiropractor to practice and
Baton Rouge chiropractic patients to recognize
that they are being treated with the
best evidenced care. Healthcare guidelines continue to evolve,
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
Baton Rouge chiropractic care at Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation to potentially prevent
Baton Rouge back surgery for many.
In Europe, national guidelines for the non-surgical care of new
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 suggest
telling the patient about warning signs, prognosis and advice
to be active along with treatment.

A study of Dutch neurosurgeons reveals 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 think it to
be more effective for arm pain relief. In view of
the risk, luckily, 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
Baton Rouge chiropractic care just enough time to ease
Baton Rouge neck pain.
