Tonawanda chiropractic spinal manipulation helps post-surgical continued back pain patients discover relief of their pain despite fusion.

DISTRACTION MANIPULATION FOR BACK PAIN AFTER LUMBAR FUSION SURGERY

Spinal fusion surgery. It is a big surgery, often quite welcome by Tonawanda back pain sufferers seeking pain relief. For those whose pain persists in spite of the lumbar fusion back surgery, hope continues with chiropractic care. Two recent research papers discussed the prominent choice of distraction manipulation for the resurgent, post-surgical continued back pain after lumbar fusion back surgery. One report surveyed Veterans’ Administration chiropractors who took care of these patients. Many furnished healthy lifestyle advice, pain education, exercise, stretching and soft tissue therapy. When it came to manipulation, these chiropractors relayed that they incorporated spinal mobilization and flexion distraction manipulation on an “always” or “frequent” basis. 93.5% of patients achieved maximum treatment benefit in 12 or less chiropractic treatments. (1) One 42-year-old post-lumbar fusion patient who underwent 12 sessions of spinal manipulation and exercise was asymptomatic, reported an 89% improvement in disability, and stable at 3 months. (2) And a third paper reported that, though diversified manipulation was performed for the majority of back pain conditions, flexion distraction was delivered prominently for treatment of lumbar disc syndrome with radiculopathy and lumbar stenosis. (3) Cox® Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation is continually chosen for back pain conditions like post-spinal-fusion-surgery that need a more gentle and effective treatment approach. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation chooses to use it for relief of Tonawanda back pain.

Tonawanda CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Tonawanda OSTEOPOROSIS: HOMOCYSTEINE, B12, FOLATE, AND INFLAMMATION

So many issues are at play with osteoporosis and its prevention. Current research indicates a significant association among homocysteine, bone mineral density (BMD) and inflammation in women with osteoporosis who are postmenopausal. Low BMD was accompanied by lower levels of B12, vitamin D, bone formation markers, and folate. Higher levels of homocysteine, inflammation, bone resorption markers, and presence of C677T polymorphism were associated with low BMD. Homocysteine production is a risk factor for inflammatory disease. It is controlled by methylenetratrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) activity with vitamin B12 and folate as contributing factors. (4) With this knowledge, we can talk about these levels and how to adjust them if needed.
