Before undergoing back surgery, Sandy Springs back pain
sufferers can benefit
from pre-back surgery chiropractic care and exercise. Research continues
to share the value
of non-surgical treatment for back pain relief. Cross Chiropractic Center is
the chiropractic care office in Sandy Springs for both!
CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION BEFORE BACK SURGERY
Self-care is frequently proposed
as initial treatment for back pain patients. If that doesn’t work, 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) Cross Chiropractic Center specializes in
a gentle, evidence-based spinal manipulation treatment known
as Cox® Technic for relief of back pain that may well help
Sandy Springs back pain sufferers evade back
surgery and control their back pain more self-sufficiently.
EXERCISE FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF
Back pain sufferers would like to help themselves
as much as possible. Cross Chiropractic Center realizes this. Exercise is documented
to be advantageous for non-surgical
pain relief for patients with spinal stenosis. (2) The proper type
of exercise is key, so we’ll talk
about what’s suitable 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 performed better at work, took
pleasure in 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 experience
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 headed to back surgery. They explained
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 gained
benefit in several ways: The back pain sufferers felt better
exercising than being inactive while waiting for surgery. The back pain
sufferers’ mood got
better as they exercised. They had time to mull
over their treatment and lifestyle options. Even patients who did not
describe symptom improvement reacted well to this
program as they felt more confident managing their pain themselves. (4)
These are all beneficial outcomes Sandy Springs back pain
patients discover in their chiropractic care at Cross Chiropractic Center.
Control not cure is a realistic goal when coping
with back pain.
