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
Williamson 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. Apple Country Chiropractic respects your time and your
desire for information and knowledge before you make that decision about back
surgery as your option for relief. Apple Country Chiropractic feels you’ll appreciate
these researchers’ insights about back surgery and back surgeons and your
consideration of the Williamson 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) Apple Country Chiropractic is here to help
lessen the confusion and attempt relief with gentle Williamson
chiropractic care of your spine.
