CONSERVATIVE TREATMENT VS. SURGERY
When it comes to treating pain, a disability, and loss of quality of life, both conservative treatment and surgery can help. In most cases, conservative treatment is the best place to start. In the long run, surgery may become necessary, but starting with less invasive measures may be all you end up needing. Through comprehensive conservative treatment, you may be able to achieve greater wellness and quality of life without the invasiveness and expense of a surgical procedure. Unlike surgery, conservative treatment does not involve long post-surgery recovery time, necessary time-off from work, or short-term mobility reduction. If you experience chronic back pain, reach out to us to start getting the best treatment for your condition today!
IMPROVE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE
Many patients in our Chesterfield spine clinic come in expecting to need surgery. However, that is often not the case. After a short period of intense conservative treatment, many patients experience partial or even total pain relief. Depending on how you do with conservative treatment, further treatment may prove unnecessary. A conservative approach is an important first line of treatment. Sometimes conservative treatment may be ineffective, and in such cases a more invasive surgical procedure may be called for. However, surgery should always be considered a last line of defense. With responsible conservative treatment, surgery is in many cases avoidable. Dr. John Peloza is proud to be part of the leading spine specialists in Missouri.
