Benefits of Pre-Back Surgery Minster Chiropractic Care and Exercise
Before undergoing back surgery, Minster back pain sufferers will do well to undergo chiropractic care and exercise. Research continues to share the value of non-surgical treatment for back pain relief. Minster Chiropractic Center is the chiropractic care office in Minster for both!
CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION BEFORE BACK SURGERY
Self-care is frequently recommended as initial 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) Minster Chiropractic Center delivers a gentle, evidence-based spinal manipulation treatment called Cox® Technic to relieve back pain that may well help Minster back pain sufferers evade back surgery and control their back pain more self-sufficiently.
EXERCISE FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF
Back pain sufferers want to help themselves as much as possible. Minster Chiropractic Center knows this. Exercise is documented to be beneficial for non-surgical pain relief for patients with spinal stenosis. (2) The right form of exercise is vital, so we will talk about what’s right for you! Maybe Pilates would be your “thing”. 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 effectively. They did better at work, enjoyed hobbies more, were inspired to keep exercising, did more to manage their own pain conditions without outside help. These, in turn, motivated them to discover 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 described the back pain condition to the patients carefully. They set up exercise programs for each patient to perform. They found that back pain patients who experienced this pre-surgery program of explanation 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’ disposition 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 managing their pain themselves. (4) These are all positive outcomes Minster back pain patients discover in their chiropractic care at Minster Chiropractic Center. Control not cure is a realistic goal when dealing with back pain.
