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 recommended
by medical physician organizations like the American College of Physicians
and American Pain Society. (1) Malverne Health & Wellness specializes in
a gentle, evidence-based spinal manipulation treatment called Cox® Technic for relief of back pain that may well assist
Malverne back pain sufferers evade back
surgery and manage their back pain more self-sufficiently.
EXERCISE FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF
Back pain sufferers would like to help themselves
as much as possible. Malverne Health & Wellness realizes this. Exercise is shown advantageous for non-surgical
pain relief for patients with spinal stenosis. (2) The proper form
of exercise is vital, so we will talk
about what is right for you! Maybe
Pilates would be your “thing”. A study of chronic
musculoskeletal pain patients who undertook a Pilates-based
exercise program revealed that the pain patients better functioned
and managed their pain condition more autonomously
and effectively. They performed 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, helped them discover
a healthier lifestyle. (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 described
the back pain condition to the patients carefully. They set
up exercise programs for each patient to perform. They
discovered that back pain patients who underwent
this pre-surgery program of explanation and exercise benefitted in several ways: The back pain sufferers felt better
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 did not
report symptom improvement responded well to this
program as they felt more confident in being able to
do some self-management of their pain. (4)
These are all positive outcomes Malverne back pain
patients discover in their chiropractic care at Malverne Health & Wellness.
Control not cure is a realistic goal when dealing
with back pain.
