Non Surgical Treatment For Sciatica

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 and lower back pain, 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 lower back pain treatment and 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 free 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 building material of your body. Guess what - if you feed it poor quality food and chemical toxins it just can’t work very well!
