Benefits of Pre-Back Surgery Plainville Chiropractic Care and Exercise

March 12, 2019

Before undergoing back surgery, Plainville back pain sufferers can benefit from pre-back surgery chiropractic care and exercise. Research continues to share the value of non-surgical treatment for back pain relief. Layden Chiropractic is the chiropractic care office in Plainville for both!

CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION BEFORE BACK SURGERY

Self-care is often recommended as initial treatment for back pain patients. If that does not work, including 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 organizations like the American College of Physicians and American Pain Society. (1) Layden Chiropractic uses a gentle, evidence-based spinal manipulation treatment in the form of Cox® Technic for relief of back pain that may well help Plainville back pain sufferers refrain from 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. Layden Chiropractic knows this. Exercise is shown advantageous for non-surgical pain relief for patients with spinal stenosis. (2) The proper form of exercise is important, so we will talk about what is proper for you! Maybe Pilates would be your “thing”. A study of chronic musculoskeletal pain patients who tried a Pilates-based exercise program discovered that the pain patients better functioned and managed their pain condition more independently and efficiently. They did better at work, took pleasure in hobbies more, were motivated to keep exercising, did more to make do with their own pain conditions independently. These, in turn, motivated them to enjoy a healthier way of life. (3) These benefits arose 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 discovered that back pain patients who underwent this pre-surgery program of description and exercise benefitted in several ways: The back pain sufferers noticed improvement exercising than being inactive while waiting for surgery. The back pain sufferers’ frame of mind improved as they exercised. They had time to mull over their treatment and lifestyle options. Even patients who didn’t describe symptom improvement responded 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 Plainville back pain patients discover in their chiropractic care at Layden Chiropractic. Control not cure is a realistic goal when dealing with back pain.
