Before undergoing back surgery, Tonawanda back pain
sufferers can benefit
from pre-back surgery chiropractic care and exercise. Research continues
to share the benefit
of non-surgical treatment for back pain relief. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is
the chiropractic care office in Tonawanda for both!
CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION BEFORE BACK SURGERY
Self-care is often proposed
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 suggested
by medical physician organizations like the American College of Physicians
and American Pain Society. (1) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation specializes in
a gentle, evidence-based spinal manipulation treatment called Cox® Technic to relieve back pain that may well help
Tonawanda back pain sufferers evade back
surgery and manage their back pain more self-sufficiently.
EXERCISE FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF
Back pain sufferers want to help themselves
as much as possible. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation realizes this. Exercise is documented
to be useful for non-surgical
pain relief for patients with spinal stenosis. (2) The right form
of exercise is important, so we will talk
about what is suitable for you! Maybe
Pilates would be your exercise of choice. A study of chronic
musculoskeletal pain patients who tried a Pilates-based
exercise program found that the pain patients better functioned
and coped with their pain condition more autonomously
and efficiently. They performed better at work, enjoyed hobbies more, were motivated to keep exercising,
did more to manage their own pain conditions independently. These, in turn, motivated them to experience
a healthier lifestyle. (3) These benefits resulted
without back surgery.
EXERCISE BEFORE BACK SURGERY
Researchers established a trial of exercise for
back pain patients scheduled for back surgery. They explained
the back pain condition to the patients thoroughly. They set
up exercise programs for each patient to do. They
found that back pain patients who underwent
this pre-surgery program of explanation and exercise benefitted in several ways: The back pain sufferers felt better
exercising than being inactive while waiting for surgery. The back pain
sufferers’ mood improved as they exercised. They had time to mull
over their treatment and lifestyle options. Even patients who did not
describe symptom improvement responded well to this
program as they felt more confident in being able to
do some self-management of their pain. (4)
These are all positive outcomes Tonawanda back pain
patients find in their chiropractic care at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation.
Control not cure is a realistic objective when coping
with back pain.
