Non Surgical Treatment For Sciatica

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

This site is all about how you can use exercise and diet as a means for managing and stopping siatica and back pain.

One of the reasons is that studies show that surgery produces no statistical difference in long-term results for curing sciatica as compared to conservative (i.e. non-surgical) care.

The key words used here are “no statistical difference”.

What this means is that in a sample of say 100 people who have back surgery, there will be:

1. Some people who obtain a positive benefit,
2. Some who end up worse off and
3. The majority for whom there is minimal difference. The average, long term result for the whole group is no difference.

It’s important that you understand how the statistics work.

The other factor to understand is that the benefits from back surgery are typically not long lasting. After 6 months or so, people tend to be back where they started.

So the summary is that you should be very cautious before embarking on back surgery, because the odds on it helping you are not good. I suggest you get at least two opinions before considering surgery.

Again, what we recommend in terms of non surgical treatment for sciatica is:

1. Change your pattern of movement, routine, exercise - if you’re not doing any exercise then start!

2. Start a set of exercises designed for your back. You can sign up for the back exercise course using the form on the left, or buy the Better Back System.

3. Develop good eating habits. Food is the fuel, lubrication and buidling material of your body. Guess what - feed it rubbish and it ain’t gonna work very well!

Most people will find out it is possible to stop back pain and sciatica in just a few weeks or sometimes even days and build themselves a healthy back.

The factors that increase the risks of you experiencing back pain or sciatica include common conditions such as:

* Sitting for long periods with a bad posture

3. Start eating properly! Give your body the nutrition it needs to function and heal itself properly i.e. a simple diet with a good selection of fresh foods and less (and ideally no) processed junk is one of the keys to goo dhealth

Because many of the foods we eat today are highly processed, we also suggest a natural nutrition supplement to make sure your body gets all the nutrients it needs. The BodyBalance supplement is one of the best we’ve found so far. Google it and you can often get a month’s free supply which will give you enough time to see if it works for you.
