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

July 04, 2017

Guidelines are the way of healthcare today. There are best-evidence guidelines for everything from how to manage psoriasis to kidney disease to neck pain. There are best-evidence guidelines for most professions from allergy and immunology to urology. Chiropractic care is part of it all as is back pain and neck pain management. Such guidelines offer a base for physicians like your Groton chiropractor to practice and Groton chiropractic patients to know that  they are being treated with the best evidenced care. Healthcare guidelines keep evolving, and guidelines for neck pain due to cervical disc herniation point to an 8 to 12 week wait before surgical intervention which is just enough time for Groton chiropractic care at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office to potentially thwart Groton back surgery for many.

In Europe, national guidelines for the non-surgical care of recent 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 informing the patient about warning signs, prognosis and advice to be active along with treatment.  (1) Good advice! Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is committed to Groton chiropractic patient education. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office wants to be sure Groton patients know their spinal condition, understand the treatment plan to reduce pain, and embrace their role in getting, keeping and holding onto the relief so that they don’t have to experience arm pain or neck pain any longer than they have to or need to experience Groton 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 get at the cervical spine through 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 believe it to be more effective for arm pain relief. Considering the risk, fortunately, the surgeons seek a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks of radicular arm pain in a patient before they operate. (2) That offers Groton chiropractic care just enough time to lessen Groton neck pain.

In 8 weeks, Groton chiropractic care at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office with Cox Technic can amaze! In a retrospective review of 39 patients treated with Cox Technic protocols for cervical spine in patients with cervical radiculopathy (arm pain), 13.2 treatments was the mean number of treatments to deliver arm pain relief. (3) In 10 weeks, Cox Technic delivers a good clinical outcome that lasts! A 2 year follow up with a patient who had a C6-7 cervical disc herniation with radiculopathy arm pain showed that subjective and objective signs or relief were stable. (4) In the conservative medical care arena, 83% patients with symptomatic cervical spine disc herniation with radiculopathy find relief in about 24 to 36 months with the most progress toward recovery happening in the first 4 to 6 months.
