Symptomatic Sciatica Treatment
Symptomatic Sciatica Treatment ConcernsSymptomatic treatment is fine for those individuals who can not find lasting relief due to extreme damage or trauma to the spine. These people might be suffering all the time and methods of pain management are certainly humane and appropriate in these cases. However, this scenario definitely does not represent the average sciatica patient. These people CAN find lasting and permanent relief, if only they would use the correct method of enacting a cure.I get letters from patients everyday asking why they have not found a permanent cure using many of the symptomatic modalities common to all back pain treatment. It is obvious that there care providers never took the time to explain that massage, TENS or drugs (for example) are not likely to cure their pain, but will instead only make it less uncomfortable to live normally. I always wish that doctors and therapists would explain these details to patients before putting them into long term treatment regimens (and taking PLENTY of their MONEY!!!) Symptomatic Sciatica Treatment ExceptionsRather than list all the possible symptomatic treatments, it is far easier and more concise to list the few therapy options which DO NOT qualify as symptomatic in nature…* Sciatica Surgery is certainly not symptomatic treatment in most instances, but also does not demonstrate good curative results for most conditions. * Spinal decompression is a noninvasive option which seeks to resolve the underlying causes of spinally induced sciatica. * Knowledge therapy teaches patients how to cure their own pain through an easy to apply approach taught by perhaps the most brilliant mind in the back pain industry… Dr John Sarno. Symptomatic Sciatica Treatment AdvicePlease understand that most of your treatment choices are simply not designed to cure your pain. They are designed to allow doctors to be proactive in cases of painful complaints, by doing SOMETHING… ANYTHING… to satisfy the patient. These methods are really little more than an aspirin, or a bandage, when it comes to their effects…Symptomatic treatment might not cure, but it is a good choice for those patients still searching for a real solution to their pain. For people who have not enjoyed lasting relief from a wide range of appropriate sciatica therapy modalities, I generally recommend knowledge therapy. This is the same technique I used to end my long standing battle with back pain and sciatica and hope that it will be as effective for you. Best of all, there are simply no risks or expenses involved with this treatment. Try saying that for the majority of symptomatic treatments out there!!! 6/9/09 Revised 12/14/09
