Written By davecasey6719@gmail.com, On May 22, 2013 WHAT IS THE BEST TREATMENT FOR BACK PAIN When looking for the best treatment for back pain there are some very obvious facts that you need to accept from the start. There is no treatments available that can offer a quick fix. What-ever treatment that is considered it will have to try and restore normal function to an unhealthly and more often abused spine. The longer you have left it before seeking treatment the more damage you will have collected and the longer it will take to treat. By concentrating solely on pain relief and not on attempting to correct the problem that is causing the pain you are on a road to nowhere. Long term pain relief medication can also lead to many other health problems due to the side effects of these drugs. Surgery is often not the answer. Surgery is only useful to a minority of patients with back pain and with all the risks associated with surgery this should only be considered as a last resort. To explore all other available options first is obvious, and to accept that the best option to to seek a managed solution. Cure for back pain. If you will only accept an out-right cure for back pain rarther than a treatment that involves on going rehabilitation and possible follow up sessions you will always be dissapointed. The majority of back pain is mechanical in nature and will respond to mechanical based treatments. All of these treatments rely on a combination of mobilisation/manipulation methods, of various different styles, and some form of stretching/excercise techniques. Again and again this type of management has proven itself in research studies over decades and decades. The politics of what profession is the best at delivering these services will continue to muddy the waters for years to come. The best educated and trained professionals should deliver a more consistant service in practice.
