Layden Chiropractic Helps Relieve Post-Surgical Back Pain
Back surgery. It’s an option some choose to get relief of their back pain. About 50% of them report relief at one year later. What then? More back surgery? Additional pain medications? A spine stimulator? Physical therapy? Chiropractic? Layden Chiropractic would add chiropractic care as a worthwhile option before back surgery, and Layden Chiropractic welcomes back pain patients to the Plainville back pain specialty practice even if they’ve already undergone back surgery and still have pain. Chiropractic is a non-surgical method to alleviate Plainville spine pain, and Cox Technic is the chiropractic treatment protocol that offers much evidence-based research as its foundation with documented clinical outcomes of relieving and controlling back pain. Cox Technic fulfills Plainville back pain patients’ desire for relief. Layden Chiropractic offers it to their Plainville back pain patients if they find themselves with post-surgical continued pain or the condition diagnosis of “failed back surgery syndrome” (FBSS).
Post Surgical Continued Pain Diagnosis
Low back pain care with chiropractic is shown to be equally beneficial as physical therapy with no serious adverse side-effects. This review report goes on to say that “the decision to seek or to refer patients for chiropractic care should be based on patient preference and values.” (1) That is what evidence-based medicine is all about: seek out the best evidence from the research, pursue care from the back pain specialist who is clinically proficient, and meet patient expectations and preferences. That is what chiropractic research continues to do: produce the research and publish the outcomes for the public to decide what is best for dealing with their back pain.
How does one make that decision though? When a surgeon offers surgery or a pain medicine doctor offers medication or a physical therapist offers exercise or a chiropractor offers spinal manipulation in one form or another, how does the relief-seeking Plainville back pain patient decide? Have all of these providers present patients with unbiased information about the potential benefits and risks of the options. (2) Everyone knows though that when the pain is intense, the first offer of relief is really appealing. Any human physician wants to help a person in pain get rid of that. Layden Chiropractic certainly does. Our Plainville back pain sufferers are thankful when they get relief after care.
So Layden Chiropractic wants to share recent chiropractic-outcome articles with Plainville back pain patients: spinal manipulation relief for post-surgical continued pain patients and for post-implanted and currently wearing spinal stimulator patients. A study of 69 post-surgical continued pain patients, 80% of patients demonstrated greater than 50% relief of pain at the end of care (3 months) in a mean of 49 days and 11 visits, and 78.6% continued with their 50% relief of pain at 24 months follow up. The amount of relief was 71.6% at 3 months and 70% at 24 months. (3) Then, researchers tell that no adverse effects from chiropractic manipulation or mobilization treatment applied to patients who have implanted spine stimulators for pain control are observed in their findings. (4) Finally, a post-surgical patient reacts positively to rehabilitation and Cox Technic spinal manipulation care, registering pain decreasing from 8 to 3 on a 10 point scale over 12 visits in 3 months. (5) Layden Chiropractic notices that a combination approach for pain relief is usually best for our Plainville chiropractic patients.
Every Plainville chiropractic patient is matched with his or her very own, personalized treatment plan that involves the following: combination of approaches as appropriate, cooperation with fellow healthcare colleagues as needed, presentation of the latest in clinical outcomes of care options existing, and support for you, our Plainville post-surgical continued back pain patient, through it all.
