Guidelines are the way of healthcare today. There are best-evidence guidelines for everything from how to manage arthritis to heart disease to neck pain. There are best-evidence guidelines for most professions from allergy and immunology to urology. Chiropractic care is part of it all as is back pain and neck pain management. Such guidelines offer a base for physicians like your Carrolltown chiropractor to practice and Carrolltown chiropractic patients to realize that  they are being treated with the best evidenced care.

A study of Dutch neurosurgeons reveals that 76.3% of them implement the anterior cervical discectomy with fusion for cervical spine disc herniation surgeries. This requires them to reach the cervical spine via the front of the neck, not the back.

In view of the risk, luckily, the surgeons seek a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks of radicular arm pain in a patient before they perform a surgery. (2) That offers Carrolltown chiropractic care just enough time to ease Carrolltown neck pain.
