Back pain ranks among one of the worst injuries one can sustain. It is often overlooked as painful by those that do not experience it because they have nothing to compare it to. Those that have suffered a hernia of the spinal cord can attest that the pain is almost unbearable. So many people that suffer from these hernias wonder if they would benefit from surgery.
Hernia surgery is a fairly uncomplicated process. The pain from a hernia occurs because two vertebrae are pinching the nerves located between them. This is solved by removing the bulging material and fusing the two vertebrae together. This surgery comes with a lot of risk because once the fuse has been established, the ability to move that section of the spine is greatly reduced. This is one of the main reasons that doctors are often very hesitant to perform a surgery on a younger person.
There are alternatives that can be attempted first. For many hernia victims, a chiropractor can attempt to work the hernia back into place. The success rate of this method is not great but it is a far less painful solution and worth at least attempting for anyone that suffers from the pain of this type of injury. Some chiropractors have a machine that does a more efficient job of simulating the twisting motions needed for this method though its success rate is only slightly higher. It is also possible that the hernia will naturally fix itself during daily activities. This is an incredibly rare occurrence but can sometimes happen while a person is trying to decide between the risk of having the surgery or not.
If all other options fail, having hernia surgery can improve a person's quality of life. There are a lot of risks involved with a surgery of this nature but it is a great relief to a patient when it is successful. While the surgery can reduce the range of motion a person has, it is also quite effective at diminishing or eliminating the pain found in the back. It is up to each individual to decide if the rewards outweigh the risks.
