ALTERNATIVE THERAPY Vs BACK SURGERY
We are supposedly in the 21st century and yet back surgery is way behind the times. In fact, seeing some of the results from back surgery in recent years, you might think back surgery is still in the dark ages.
In an article that talks about ‘The Truth About Back surgery‘ , they say that of the 56 million Americans suffering with back pain, only 5% should opt for back surgery. Sadly that is not the case and the horrendous stories you hear about back surgery that has not worked and in fact has made the patient even worse, are ever increasing.
A study taken in 2010 revealed that back surgery fails over 74% of the time. That is not only a shocking statistic, but equally terrifying for someone that has been told by their doctor ‘there is no alternative but surgery’.
Here’s the real truth, ‘There is an alternative’.
Alternative therapy (healthcare) is by far the safest choice when you’re dealing with the spine and you really can can achieve fantastic results without any side effects.
Between 60% – 80% of adults will at some stage of their lives suffer with lower back pain. When you include pain in the middle of the back, between the shoulders and neck pain, then the percentage of adults suffering from spine related pain increases to approximately 60% – 90%.
This is a massive section of our population and so reviewing the benefits of alternative treatments is a must for all of us.
ALTERNATIVE THERAPY
- Approaches medical treatment by placing its focus primarily on proactive measures
- Treats the condition (injury) not the symptoms
- Far more cost effective
- Treatment targets the whole body
Spinal alignment opens the healing channels, switching on the brain body connection restoring the body’s own healing system. Using a holistic approach when treating spinal injuries, is by far safer and not intrusive to the body physically and chemically.
By treating the condition (injury) you remove the symptoms i.e. pain without damaging other parts of the body.
BACK SURGERY
- Targets treating symptoms, not the underlying causes
- Treats the human body in parts, not as a whole, by removing, replacing and bracing etc…
Nowadays, we are seeing a growing number of people turning to alternative therapies. This trend is getting stronger and becoming more and more the chosen form of medical treatment, especially amongst the American population.
As statistics reveal the rapidly increasing number of people choosing alternative therapies as a form of treatment, the debated question among the health care industry is “Why aren’t conventional doctors recommending alternative medicine”.
It is clear that the conventional medical model is fatally flawed. It is largely profit-driven by the pharmaceutical industry which influences the media through its advertising budget. Evidence that the American public is becoming discouraged with conventional medicine has become obvious, in the growing numbers turning to alternative treatments for answers. We just need the UK population to catch up and start making decisions about their own treatments based on what options are available to them and not just those they are steered towards.
Convincing doctors and the media the value of alternative medicine might well be a long way off yet. If we consider their close ties with drug companies, it becomes clearer why they don’t want to sing the praises on non-surgical and non-chemical interventions. There’s far too much money at stake for them to lose out on.
So, it’s up to us to take control over our own health and make the right choices.
Over the years I have successfully treated many people that have been referred to me, recommended by other patients or discovered me on the internet, all with spinal conditions i.e. prolapse – herniated discs – spinal bulge – radial tears etc. Typically, their doctor, surgeon or consultant had said they needed an operation which was their only option.
Fortunately they chose Alternative Therapy and underwent my unique treatment programme, resulting in me not only getting my patients out of pain and rectifying the injury, but also saving them from having any invasive spinal procedure which is fraught with danger and inevitably falls far short of a 100% success rate.
