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

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.  (1) Good advice!

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, 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 Baton Rouge chiropractic care just enough time to ease Baton Rouge neck pain.
