Disc Herniation Treatment- Surprise For Treatment Options

May 31st, 2009 by admin

One of the most surprising discoveries regarding options for disc herniation treatment-induced radiculopathy is that disc surgery and conservative non-surgical treatment work the same with respect to over-all long-term improvement. The only advantage disc surgery has is that it often get the injured person out of pain faster and back to work fast IF they have the surgery in time and they are a proper candidate. There is, however, an important exception to this rule for patients who are forced into disc surgery because (1) they simply can’t stand the pain, (2) they have a progressive worsening of neurological symptom (i.e., worsening of muscle weakness in the upper or lower extremities) and (3) the development of the dangerous cauda equina syndrome. All of the latter three conditions are surgical musts in most cases.
