Sciatica Surgery Alternatives
Symptomatic Sciatica Surgery AlternativesNon-surgical sciatica treatment consists of mostly symptomatic therapy options. These treatments help a patient to cope with the pain of sciatica, but offer no hope for a real cure. In essence, they do nothing at all to address the underlying reasons for the pain. They merely make life more comfortable. The most common symptomatic treatments include pain management drugs, chiropractic, acupuncture, epidural injections and bed rest. With the exception of chiropractic, these treatments offer virtually no chance of curing sciatica pain and even chiropractic only offers a cure in very rare instances.Curative Sciatica Surgery AlternativesThe one medical treatment modality which seems to offer good permanent resolution of sciatic nerve pain is spinal decompression. This noninvasive, non-surgical modality is a excellent consideration for those patients who are tired of ongoing symptomatic care, but do not want to endure the agony of surgery. I recommend spinal decompression to many patients and have found only one other therapy which works better to permanently end sciatica pain…Knowledge therapy is always my first and foremost recommendation, since this is the treatment with the least risk, the least cost (none in many cases...) and the more effectiveness. It is also the treatment I used to cure my own 18 year struggle with sciatica pain. While this treatment has been considered alternative medicine by some, it was developed by a world renowned medical professional, Dr. John Sarno, of the Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, NYU Medical Center. Dr. Sarno really knows his stuff and has developed a terrific program which has cured so many, including this very thankful author. Advice on Sciatica Surgery AlternativesFinding sciatica relief is not easy for most patients. Many are led mistakenly down the wrong treatment path, like lambs to the slaughter. In order to heal your body, you must first enrich your mind. You must really get to know the real facts about sciatica and discover why your pain has not gotten better, despite all the treatments you have attempted. Once you learn more about your sciatic pain enemy, you have a far better chance of defeating it once and for all. To this end, I recommend knowledge therapy for virtually all patients. The treatment will not cost anything, just a trip to the library, (or a few dollars for some paperback books) and will absolutely not hurt you in any way. There is no risk and the only possible side effect is a complete sciatica cure. Sound good? Yeah, I thought so too…9/20/08 Revised 12/16/09
