back pain

Non-Surgical Herniated Disc Treatment

Many back pain patients are desperately seeking an effective non-surgical herniated disc treatment. This is a wise decision, since disc surgery shows very poor curative results and also comes with many inherent risks. While surgical interventions can permanently reduce patient functionality, they are unlikely to enact lasting pain relief.

Non-Surgical Herniated Disc Treatment

Non-Surgical Herniated Disc Treatment Facts

While most noninvasive therapy modalities qualify as purely symptomatic treatments, there are still some which might permanently end disc pain once and for all. Symptomatic therapies should be avoided whenever possible, since these modalities enslave patients into a long term regimen of treatment, without the hope of curing anything at all.

Non-surgical cures are few and far between when compared to the vast number of symptomatic therapies. However, learning about your treatment options will give you the information you require to make the correct choice when it comes to finding noninvasive herniated disc relief.

The most important thing to remember when considering disc pain treatment is that most herniated and degenerated discs DO NOT cause pain. These conditions are normally experienced in the spine as part of the natural aging process. Furthermore, you do not have to be old to experience either of these conditions, since degeneration is present in virtually every human spine by the age of 20 and far earlier in many patients.

Non-Surgical Herniated Disc Treatment Methods

The best treatment for most herniated discs and almost every case of degenerative disc disease is NO TREATMENT. Simply learning the objective facts about perceived disc pain will tell you that most discs are not the source of considerable or lasting pain. Although a new disc injury might be painful, most conditions will resolve without any special medical care at all. Long term statistics show that patients who receive no care for their herniated discs become pain free faster and longer than patients who seek out medical therapy. To me, this is a simply amazing bit of information which should be considered by every back pain sufferer…

I always advise patients to learn about the benefits of knowledge therapy, especially if they can not wait for pain to disappear by itself. This is the NON-TREATMENT TREATMENT! Knowledge therapy educates individuals about the common interactions between the mind and body, which are responsible for worsening, perpetuating and even causing physical pain syndromes.

For the remainder of patients who are actually suffering from anatomical disc pain, I typically advise spinal decompression as a terrific option. Decompression therapy is very effective in permanently ending herniated disc symptoms and providing relief from problematic degenerative disc disease. Decompression has few risks and demonstrates excellent curative statistics for disc patients.

Advice on Non-Surgical Herniated Disc Treatment

Combining all these non-surgical techniques is the best idea of all. Wait the condition out and use knowledge therapy to counter the emotional aspects which increase symptoms. If this does not work (it usually does…), consider decompression. Waiting and knowledge therapy have no risks and are not costly. There is nothing to lose by trying this simple suggestion. It has worked for millions of suffering patients with a wide range of back pain conditions.

I was advised to have back surgery by several different orthopedic surgeons. I was scared to death by the prospect of surgery and did everything possible to prevent this from being my final option. Prior to discovering knowledge therapy, I was really beginning to consider an operation, since all my other attempts at treatment failed miserably. My doctors told me that surgery would be the only way left…

Thank God I was too smart to believe that old myth. Spinal surgery shows abysmal statistics for curing back pain and not a day goes by that I do not get letters from at least one patient with failed back surgery syndrome. Don’t buy into the hype unless surgery is truly the only option you have left. Barring cauda equina syndrome sufferers, I would not recommend surgery for any chronic disc condition unless EVERY other option has failed. Keep this in mind as you pursue your own cure. Please write to me if you need any help in making up your mind on the best herniated disc treatment for your particular pain problem.
