Back Clinics of Canada Patient Question of the Week: Sciatica and Age

My mother is 89 years old. She suffers on and off with sciatica. Her doctor prescribes painkillers and rest. It doesn’t help. She is miserable. Can someone her age be treated in your clinic? Are there risks with someone her age?

I’m so glad you asked this question. Sciatica can be treated successfully and safely in the elderly with the High Performance Healing System™. At Back Clinics of Canada we have treated many patients who are in their eighties. And sciatica is a back pain condition that we see often and have treated with great success.

Every patient who comes to Back Clinics of Canada first undergoes a thorough examination. We consider a patient’s complete health when assessing their eligibility, including their age of course. Only qualified patients are accepted for care.

We also consider and discuss risk factors with every individual, regardless of age. For example, some elderly patients may have severe osteoporosis. Good news is, we can offer treatment for these patients.

Our goal is to help each patient achieve optimal healing success. When a patient is accepted for care, they undergo a treatment program that is designed for their individual healing needs. A result of our patient-specific approach to care is that patients have a high rate of success with minimal discomfort.

I invite you to schedule a consultation/examination at our back pain clinic. The appointment is free and there is no obligation.

Yours in Health,

Dr. Ron Nusbaum
