Before undergoing back surgery, New Roads back pain
sufferers can benefit
from pre-back surgery chiropractic care and exercise. Research keeps sharing the benefit
of non-surgical care for back pain relief. InNew Roads New Roads Chiropractic Center
is the chiropractic care clinic for both!
CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION BEFORE BACK SURGERY
Self-care is frequently recommended
as initial treatment for back pain patients. If that doesn’t work, adding non-drug
therapy for acute low back pain – spinal manipulation – and for chronic or subacute
back pain – spinal manipulation, intensive interdisciplinary rehab, exercise,
acupuncture, massage, yoga, cognitive behavioral therapy - is promoted
by medical physician groups like the American College of Physicians
and American Pain Society. (1) New Roads Chiropractic Center delivers
a gentle, evidence-based spinal manipulation treatment known
as Cox® Technic for relief of back pain that may well help
New Roads back pain sufferers refrain from back
surgery and manage their back pain more independently.
EXERCISE FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF
Back pain sufferers want to help themselves
as much as possible. New Roads Chiropractic Center realizes this. Exercise is shown positive for non-surgical
pain relief for patients with spinal stenosis. (2) The right form
of exercise is vital, so we’ll talk
about what’s right for you! Maybe
Pilates would be your exercise of choice. A study of chronic
musculoskeletal pain patients who undertook a Pilates-based
exercise program found that the pain patients better functioned
and managed their pain condition more independently
and effectively. They did better at work, took
pleasure in hobbies more, were motivated to keep exercising,
did more to manage their own pain conditions without
outside help. These, in turn, helped them enjoy
a healthier lifestyle. (3) These benefits arose
without back surgery.
EXERCISE BEFORE BACK SURGERY
Researchers established a trial of exercise for
back pain patients headed to back surgery. They described
the back pain condition to the patients thoroughly. They set
up exercise programs for each patient to do. They
discovered that back pain patients who experienced
this pre-surgery program of explanation and exercise benefitted in several ways: The back pain sufferers noticed improvement
exercising than being inactive while waiting for surgery. The back pain
sufferers’ mood got
better as they exercised. They had time to mull
over their treatment and lifestyle options. Even patients who did not
describe symptom improvement reacted well to this
program as they thought themselves more confident in being able to
do some self-management of their pain. (4)
These are all beneficial outcomes New Roads back pain
patients find in their chiropractic care at New Roads Chiropractic Center.
Control not cure is a reasonable goal when dealing
with back pain.
