Many people have experienced or live with low back pain that is significant enough to stop a person from doing daily household activities. Imagine driving somewhere and having such pain and discomfort that then continues to progress and start to radiate down a leg all the way to a foot and having feelings of being numb.
It would be nice if there was a quick and easy fix to this common problem. A lot of individuals are told and believe they can have quick relief from having some form of surgical intervention or injections. Receiving steroid injections into a body part is most often a temporary fix that will eventually result in the same symptoms that lead to having that done and research shows that is one of the most overbilled and least effective solutions for low back pain.
Having surgical intervention (unless it is a traumatic event and is required) is, based on research, effective only part of the time resulting in going to physical therapy in the end. When people have low back pain with sciatica, oftentimes there is common degeneration where the stability and strength are lacking, and will have astounding results with a regular fitness and strengthening program to resolve low back pain with sciatic pain.
Evidence based research speaks to the validity of the claims for conservative treatment vs surgical intervention having better outcomes and longer lasting results to improve quality of life and long term positive results.
Physical Therapy has been proven extremely effective at resolving low back pain in all ages.
