Old Mill Chiropractics September 2017 Healthy Newsletter

Research states that those who go through rehab4 after back disc surgery find themselves with more favorable treatment outcomes in the year after the back surgery. They return to work. (1) Some back surgery patients do not undergo rehabilitation by their own decision or by not being told to do it. For those who have continued pain after back surgery (also known as “failed back surgical syndrome”), St Peters chiropractic Cox Technic spinal manipulation care may help ease the pain without further surgical intervention. A study of 69 post-surgical continued pain patients seeing a chiropractor using Cox Technic reports that 81% of these patients acquired greater than 50% pain relief in 11 visits over a 49-day period of active care. (2) That can be adequate relief to return these patients to enjoy their lives again! If you, a loved one or a friend didn’t do any rehabilitation after back surgery and/or are undergoing back pain post-back surgery, Old Mill Chiropractic can help with gentle, research-documented, St Peters chiropractic care and treatment.

Exercise is good for the nutrition of your spinal discs! The discs are made up of glycosaminoglycans which are comprised of chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, glucosamine sulfate. Researchers describe that physical exercise does not deplete glycosaminoglycans; exercise increases their concentration even in overtraining situations. (3) Plus doing some muscle strengthening activities twice a week reduces your chances of low back pain. (4) Ask Old Mill Chiropractic about chondroitin sulfate supplementation and exercise as accompaniments to your St Peters chiropractic treatment plan for your disc’s health and healing!
