Despite a limited chance of success, the number of patients
undergoing back surgery has risen markedly over the past 12 years.
And often the surgery is not even necessary, reports Richard A.
Deyo, M.D., of the University of Washington School of Medicine.
His extensive review of more than 80 studies over the past 26 years
found that a whopping 95 percent of back patients revover quickly
with the most conservative treatment: one to two days of bed rest
followed by exercises, along with short-term painkillers, muscle
relaxants, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. According to
Dr. Deyo, only people with disabling sciatica that doesn't improve
after several weeks of conservative care, or those suffering
progressive motor deficits, such as weakness in the legs, need surgery.

Despite a limited chance of success, the number of patients
undergoing back surgery has risen markedly over the past 12 years.
And often the surgery is not even necessary, reports Richard A.
Deyo, M.D., of the University of Washington School of Medicine.
His extensive review of more than 80 studies over the past 26 years
found that a whopping 95 percent of back patients revover quickly
with the most conservative treatment: one to two days of bed rest
followed by exercises, along with short-term painkillers, muscle
relaxants, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. According to
Dr. Deyo, only people with disabling sciatica that doesn't improve
after several weeks of conservative care, or those suffering
progressive motor deficits, such as weakness in the legs, need
surgery.
