Fusion Surgeries May Not Alleviate Pain Recent Study Indicates that Surgery Can Leave Patients In More Pain “The study 1 provides clear evidence that for many patients, fusion surgeries designed to alleviate pain from degenerating discs don’t work,” says the study’s lead author Dr. Trang Nguyen, a researcher at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Unfortunately, for most patients with bad backs, there is no easy solution, no magic bullet. Pain management experts — and some surgeons — say that patients need to scale back their expectations. With the right treatments, pain can be eased, but a complete cure is unlikely. These conclusions are coming because of a very recent study published in the medical journal Spine, and it clearly shows that in many cases surgery can even backfire, leaving patients in more pain. Researchers reviewed records from 1,450 patients in the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation database

who had diagnoses of disc degeneration, disc herniation or radiculopathy, a nerve condition that causes tingling and weakness of the limbs. Half of the patients had surgery to fuse two or more vertebrae in hopes of curing low back pain. The other half had no surgery, even though they had comparable diagnoses. After two years, just 26 percent of those who had surgery returned to work. That’s compared to 67 percent of patients who didn’t have surgery. In what might be the most troubling study finding, researchers determined that there was a 41 percent increase in the use of painkillers, specifically opiates, in those who had surgery. - Back Surgery May Backfire on Patients in Pain, MSNBC.com, October 14, 2010 . 1 Long-term Outcomes Of Lumbar Fusion Among Workers’ Compensation Subjects: An Historical Cohort Study

MRI Study Demonstrates Major Reduction of Herniated Disc From Treatment with the DRS Protocol™ Case Study: Busch Chiropractic Pain Center, Dr. Richard E. Busch III, Fort Wayne IN MRI Evidence of Improvement Post DRS Protocol™ Treatment of Herniated Discs Case: Male, 41 Years Condition: Herniated disc L4/L5 and severe degenerative L5/ S1

Dr. Richard E. Busch III, of the Busch Chiropractic Pain Center, Fort Wayne IN, ordered an MRI study to compare with a pretreatment MRI Study, after patient was treated for herniated disc and degenerative disc disease. The BEFORE patient’s complaints were burning and sharp pain in the low back and in the buttocks. His symptoms had been present for approximately one year and had

gotten worse to serious severity, and his sleep was interrupted due to pain, and the condition interfered with work and daily activities. The patient had undergone prior treatment of NSAIDS, muscle relaxers, pain medications, and epidural injections: all with little to no improvement. After the treatment with the nonsurgical DRS Protocol™ the patient was reporting 100% sustained improvement. The MRI demonstrates a major reduction of the disc herniation and rehydraAFTER tion of the discs. The posterior herniation was diminished and the disc height improved. This patient has had no recurrence.

“SURGERY IS NOT YOUR ONLY OPTION” “I feel compelled to share the prevalence in the incidence of misdiagnosis in the back pain industry, the diagnostic hurdles patients face, and the concerns about back surgery and spinal fusion in particular. And I want to provide fair information about these particular situations and issues. That is why I wrote my recent

book *Surgery not Included: Freedom from Chronic Neck and Back Pain.” Su rgery is not a patient’s only option, and it would be worth anyone’s time to investigate all options. That would include the DRS Protocol™. It is the answer to the majority of back and neck pain conditions, and you can keep working and maintain a life. “ - Dr. Richard Busch.
