St Peters Chiropractic Care Helps Back Pain After Back Surgery Surgery and Integrates Extension Exercise into the Treatment Plan

Most St Peters back pain patients choose back surgery expecting St Peters back pain relief. That expectation is not always met. Old Mill Chiropractic is told by St Peters back surgery patients and studies it in the spine literature.  49-58% relief of pain for sciatica (leg pain) due to a disc herniation is common. (1) Post-surgical back pain patients may find that they experience back pain after St Peters back surgery. What are some options? Spinal manipulation and exercise is one such option. The American College of Physicians and American Pain Society suggest spinal manipulation for low back pain relief. (2) One patient experienced 89% improvement with 12 spinal manipulation sessions plus exercise. (3) A study of 69 post-surgical back pain patients cared for with Cox® Technic - like they are at Old Mill Chiropractic – found that 81% of patients exhibited at least 50% reduction of pain at the end of 3 months of care. 78.6% of those patients had continued pain relief at 2 years’ follow up. (4) St Peters chiropractic relief for post-surgical back pain patients often meets a patient’s expectation of back pain relief. Old Mill Chiropractic invites you or a suffering friend or family member to visit today.

Listen to this PODCAST on The Back Doctors’ Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson in which Dr. David Atiyeh shares the case of a patient who had experienced back surgery expecting pain relief and post-surgically found pain relief with chiropractic Cox® Technic care.

St Peters back pain sufferers often experience relief by flexing forward just a bit, not flexing backward into extension. (Check out the SPINE article May 2018 on our website about why!) Extension is not all bad. A healthy spine can extend. A healthy spine requires strong back muscles to support all its motions. Strengthening those extensor muscles to prevent St Peters back pain is essential. Research shows that lumbar spine extension weakness and extensor muscle deconditioning are found in St Peters chiropractic patients with chronic low back pain. (5) Why? Back muscles degenerate in back pain sufferers like spinal discs degenerate. (6) Integrate extension exercises into your day when your St Peters chiropractor tells you it’s appropriate. Old Mill Chiropractic can help!
