GIVE IT TIME…AND New York City CHIROPRACTIC!

Leg pain (lumbosacral radiculopathy or sciatica) and loss of motor strength obviously concern New York City back pain patients. “When will it come back?” is a typical question. Keep in mind that research finds that treatment outcomes are very alike for surgical and non-surgical care of disc herniation patients with leg radiculopathy. (1) One classic study reported that loss of motor strength due to sciatic nerve damage came back over 3 years with 10% in 6 months, 30% at 1 year, 50% at 2 years and 75% at 3 years. (2) A brand-new article concurs: Improvement returns over time irrespective of treatment (surgery or non-surgery). The majority of patients in this latest study did not choose surgery. Just about all of them regained full strength at 1 year with it typically happening in the first 3 months while on-going recovery lasted a year. (3) Rosenberg Wellness Center urges you to not hold back. Ask Rosenberg Wellness Center the hard questions. We’ll present the research-documented facts for you to consider.

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Howard Rosenberg on The Back Doctor’s Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about helping an athletic, healthy patient who found himself foot drop and decreased muscle strength as a result of a disc herniation with leg pain sciatica/radiculopathy. His chiropractic care using the Cox® Technic System helped him return not just back to walking but also to playing tennis!

Rosenberg Wellness Center sees benefit in recommending back belts to back pain sufferers.

New York City CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Back Belts Help

New York City back pain patients fear moving, concerned that they may trigger pain. Back belts and braces reduce pain and fear of pain and allow a return to usual activities of life. (4) For back pain patients who suffer with spinal stenosis, back belts enhanced their walking distance. (5) And for acute compression fractures, a back brace is usually used. A soft brace was equally effective as a rigid brace to avoid spinal deformity, enhance quality of life, and lessen back pain. (6) Back belts are not necessary forever, but for temporary and for certain conditions, they help!
