Back surgery. Non-surgical care. What’s best for back pain and leg pain?

Medicine notices that back pain relief is achievable non—surgicall! Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is enthusiastic to see this latest back pain treatment study. A group of medical doctors followed patients with lumbar disc herniations (most at L4-5 and L5-S1). These patients were 38 years old on average, just the age that spinal research reports as average for back pain sufferers to have a bad case of back pain that’s been building for years. These patients hurt with low back pain and sciatica that went into one or both legs. Many patients had already attempted relief with physiotherapy and other medical treatment unsuccessfully before this intervention. (1) That sounds quite familiar for Ashburn back pain patients looking for relief at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn!
