Before undergoing back surgery, St Peters back pain sufferers can benefit from pre-back surgery chiropractic care and exercise. Research keeps documenting the value of non-surgical treatment for back pain relief. InSt Peters Old Mill Chiropractic is the chiropractic care clinic for both!
CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION BEFORE BACK SURGERY
Self-care is often suggested as first-line treatment for back pain patients. If that does not produce the desired results, 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 promoted by medical physician organizations like the American College of Physicians and American Pain Society. (1) Old Mill Chiropractic uses a gentle, evidence-based spinal manipulation treatment known as Cox® Technic for relief of back pain that may well help St Peters back pain sufferers avoid 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. Old Mill Chiropractic realizes this. Exercise is documented to be valuable for non-surgical pain relief for patients with spinal stenosis. (2) The proper form of exercise is important, so we’ll talk about what is right for you! Maybe Pilates would be your exercise of choice. A study of chronic musculoskeletal pain patients who tried a Pilates-based exercise program revealed that the pain patients better functioned and managed their pain condition more independently and efficiently. They performed better at work, enjoyed hobbies more, were inspired to keep exercising, did more to make do with their own pain conditions without outside help. These, in turn, helped them enjoy a healthier way of life. (3) These benefits arose without back surgery.
EXERCISE BEFORE BACK SURGERY
Researchers set up a trial of exercise for back pain patients headed to back surgery. They explained the back pain condition to the patients carefully. They established exercise programs for each patient to do. They discovered that back pain patients who experienced this pre-surgery program of description and exercise gained benefit in several ways: The back pain sufferers noticed improvement exercising than being inactive while waiting for surgery. The back pain sufferers’ mood improved as they exercised. They had time to reflect on their treatment and lifestyle options. Even patients who didn’t describe symptom improvement reacted 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 positive outcomes St Peters back pain patients find in their chiropractic care at Old Mill Chiropractic. Control not cure is a reasonable goal when coping with back pain.
