Guidelines are part of healthcare today. There
are best-evidence guidelines for everything from how to manage arthritis
to kidney disease to back 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 Williamson chiropractor to practice and
Williamson chiropractic patients to realize
that they are being treated with the
best evidenced care. Healthcare guidelines continue to evolve,
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
Williamson chiropractic care at Apple Country Chiropractic to potentially prevent
Williamson back surgery for many.
In Europe, national guidelines for the non-surgical care of recent
start neck pain or cervical radiculopathy (arm pain) are presented: 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 recommend
informing the patient about warning signs, prognosis and advice
to be active along with treatment.

Williamson chiropractic patient education. Apple Country Chiropractic wants
to be sure Williamson patients know their spinal
condition, comprehend the treatment plan to relieve the
pain, and accept their role in achieving, keeping
and holding onto the relief so that they don’t

have to or have to undergo Williamson neck
surgery.
A study of Dutch neurosurgeons shows30 that
76.3% of them use the anterior cervical discectomy with
fusion for cervical spine disc herniation surgeries. This means that they reach the cervical spine via the front
of the neck, not the back. This surgical approach brings with it more risk for complications than just an
anterior cervical discectomy, but the surgeons believe it to
be more helpful for arm pain relief. In view of
the risk, luckily, the surgeons seek a minimum
of 8 to 12 weeks of radicular arm pain in a patient before they perform
a surgery. (2) That offers
Williamson chiropractic care just enough time to ease
Williamson neck pain.
