Overcoming Post-Surgical Tonawanda Back Pain: How Exercise and Cox Technic Flexion Distraction Can Help
Bouncing back from back surgery can be a difficult and frustrating path, especially when persistent pain lingers. However, a combination of directed exercises and specialized chiropractic techniques, such as Cox Technic Flexion Distraction, can significantly improve recovery and decrease post-surgical back pain.
Exercise as a Cornerstone for Recovery
Exercise is one of the most effective tools in containing post-surgical back pain. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis published in the American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (2024) features its role in alleviating pain and disability after lumbar disc herniation surgery. The study assessed multiple randomized controlled trials and discovered that structured physical exercise programs not only reduce pain but also boost mobility and general quality of life for post-surgical back pain patients.

Top benefits of exercise include:
- Improved blood flow to support healing.
- Strengthened core and back muscles to support the spine.
- Improved mental well-being by decreasing stress and anxiety linked with chronic pain.
However, post-surgical patients should always work closely with their healthcare providers like their Tonawanda chiropractor to create personalized, safe, and effective exercise regimens personalized to their recovery needs.
The Role of Cox Technic Flexion Distraction
For several post-surgery patients, Cox Technic Flexion Distraction offers extra relief from lower back and radicular pain. This chiropractic treatment that Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation uses is gentle, controlled spinal decompression to reduce pressure on the nerves and discs, while boosting spinal mobility. A retrospective case series published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine (2016) found that patients with continued low back pain after surgery experienced significant improvements with this technique.
