It seems the more one knows, the less one does ... in the realm of spine surgery that is. What about you? Do you suffer with New York City back pain or leg pain or neck pain or arm pain? Are you rushing to surgery for relief? If you are reading this, you likely want to know more. You are looking for more information before making such a decision, information you can trust, information to possibly help you avoid a first (or second or third) spine surgery. Rosenberg Wellness Center respects your time and your desire for information and knowledge before you make that decision about back surgery as your option for relief. Rosenberg Wellness Center feels you’ll appreciate these researchers’ insights about back surgery and back surgeons and your consideration of the New York City chiropractic approach offered for back pain relief.

 
From researchers at such prominent spine institutions such as Cleveland Clinic, University of Southern California Los Angeles, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and University of Wisconsin Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation comes detailed information about spine surgery statistics. Spine surgeons disagree about 75% of the time as to how to treat low back pain. (1) More specifically, these factors are influential:
  • Location: Disagreement was highest among southwest surgeons (82%) and lowest among midwest surgeons (69%).
  • Practice Type: Disagreement was lower among academic practice surgeons (56%) and higher among private practice surgeons (79%). Academic-based practice surgeons are about 4 times more likely of choosing no surgery than those in private practice.
  • Specialty Training: Surgeons with fellowship training were twice as likely to not do surgery than those without such training. (1)

And if you have degenerative lumbar scoliosis specifically, there is confusion, too. There is variability as to non-operative and operative management, as to the appropriateness of surgery as well as to the specific surgical procedures that should be used. (2) Rosenberg Wellness Center is here to help lessen the confusion and attempt relief with gentle New York City chiropractic care of your spine.

Rosenberg Wellness Center offers the non-surgical approach to back pain relief in Cox Technic. Seeing patients before a New York City spinal surgery is certainly preferred, and Rosenberg Wellness Center is well prepared to care for post-surgical continued pain back and neck pain patients, too. Rosenberg Wellness Center offers the gentle, well researched, and evidence-based chiropractic treatment system of Cox Technic. Its system sets research-documented goals of 50% Relief within 30 days (though it often comes for most patients within a few visits). Any sign of progressive neurological deficit will certainly trigger more testing or surgical consult, though that is rare in most cases.
