Minster Chiropractic Care Helps Back Pain After Back Surgery Surgery and Integrates Extension Exercise into the Treatment Plan

Most Minster back pain patients undergo back surgery expecting Minster back pain relief. That expectation is not always met. Minster Chiropractic Center is told by Minster back surgery patients and studies it in the spine literature.  49-58% relief of pain for sciatica (leg pain) because of a disc herniation is common. (1) Post-surgical back pain patients may find that they experience back pain after Minster back surgery. What are some choices? Spinal manipulation and exercise is one such option. The American College of Physicians and American Pain Society suggest spinal manipulation for low back pain relief. (2) One patient reported 89% improvement with 12 spinal manipulation sessions plus exercise. (3) A study of 69 post-surgical back pain patients cared for with Cox® Technic - like they are at Minster Chiropractic Center – found that 81% of patients exhibited at least 50% reduction of pain at the end of 3 months of care. 78.6% of those patients had persistent pain relief at 24 months follow up. (4) Minster chiropractic relief for post-surgical back pain patients often meets a patient’s expectation of back pain relief. Minster Chiropractic Center invites you or a suffering friend or family member to visit today.

Listen to this PODCAST on The Back Doctors’ Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson in which Dr. David Atiyeh describes a patient who had undergone back surgery expecting pain relief and post-surgically discovered pain relief with chiropractic Cox® Technic care.

Minster back pain sufferers frequently experience relief by flexing forward just a bit, not flexing backward into extension. (Check out the SPINE article May 2018 on our website about why!) Extension is not all bad. A healthy spine can extend. A healthy spine needs strong back muscles to support all its movements. Strengthening those extensor muscles to stop Minster back pain is essential. Research reports that lumbar spine extension weakness and extensor muscle deconditioning are found in Minster chiropractic patients with chronic low back pain. (5) Why? Back muscles degenerate in back pain sufferers like spinal discs degenerate. (6) Add extension exercises into your day when your Minster chiropractor tells you it is appropriate. Minster Chiropractic Center can help!
