Back Pain-Surgery Prevention

A post by Blanche Scharf http://www.yourhealthupdates.com I have been studying natural healing modalities for the last 25 years. In that time I have had the privilege of working with some of the greatest minds in Natural Healing including Naturopaths, Scientists, and Energy Healers. I have seen people miraculously heal from all kinds of dis-ease thru non-invasive methods. Personally, I have experienced all kinds of diets from Macrobiotics to Raw Foods. Now is a very important time to start sharing this health information with as many people as possible, so people can make well informed decisions about their health and not fall victim to a sickcare system based on profit, rather than one of supporting wholeness, compassion and love To see more posts by Blanche Scharf, click here

Back surgery doesn’t always take away the pain.  Anesthesia can compromise immunity, and that is a very big problem. In today’s medical culture we have seen more surgical procedures than ever before. Back pain-surgery prevention will mean making the connection between health and back pain.

Surgery

This means that for back pain surgery may not be the best bet. First place to look is success rate.

Surgery is good for many conditions, but it takes credit for more than it can deliver. Surgery has lofty goals but it isn’t a strategy for health. It can solve an immediate problem, but if can make a whole set of new problems for some people.

Avoiding Back Surgery

Back surgery is a lucrative business. About 500,000 Americans undergo surgery each year for low back problems. This is according to the Agency for Healthcare Research Quality, with a cost of $11 billion each year on operations to relieve the pain. The results aren’t always stellar. It doesn’t always bring the relief it promises.

According to a John Hopkins 2002 paper fewer than 5 percent of people with back pain are good candidates for surgery. For some people this is a costly mistake.

One of the biggest lessons from this is that it isn’t a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. Before you undergo any procedure, make sure you know your choices. Back pain is a good example, how many people know about upper cervical chiropractic care. If you did your homework you would have learned that it is a convenient none invasive highly successful treatment.

Back surgery should be the last resort, since it has been found that 1% of the patients benefited from the procedure.

Source of Back Pain

The hazards of surgery are many. It can weaken a spinal disk, and surgical treatment is no better than non-surgical treatment over the long term, according to a Johns Hopkins report.

There are many sources of back pain. But, it all comes down to the spine’s health. The one place that understands the incredible arrangement of bones, discs, ligaments, tendons, muscles an nerves are the upper cervical chiropractors. There are only about 55 upper cervical chiropractic centers in America. However, the number of centers are growing. There are many satisfied patients that are spreading the word that there is an alternative form of healing.
