Operation has a bad reputation among the public and, at times, the profession. There is no doubt that the right operation by the right surgeon on the right patient for the right condition, brings a satisfactory result to all concerned. Perhaps the bad results are due to one of those four conditions being wrong.

Acupuncture is currently being hailed as the treatment for everything from dandruff to corns.

I think there is valid evidence to show it may be of benefit in reducing chronic pain and, therefore, help those who remain in pain despite many different treatments. Its place in the management of the acute stages of back condition has yet to be shown.

The best advice I can give you if you have, or in the future get, a bad back, is to go to a doctor you know and trust and be guided by his advice.

It is this pressure on nerves where they originate and leave the spinal canal which causes the severe pain called sciatica running down the back of the thigh and the outer leg.
