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

Most Pflugerville back pain patients choose back surgery expecting Pflugerville back pain relief. That expectation is not always met. Pflugerville Wellness Center is told by Pflugerville back surgery patients and studies it in the spine literature.  49-58% relief of pain for sciatica (leg pain) because of a disc herniation is common. (1) Post-surgical back pain patients may discover that they experience back pain after Pflugerville back surgery. What are some choices? Spinal manipulation and exercise is one such option. The American College of Physicians and American Pain Society recommend spinal manipulation for low back pain relief. (2) One patient reported 89% improvement with 12 spinal manipulation sessions plus exercise. (3) A study of 69 post-surgical back pain patients treated with Cox® Technic - like they are at Pflugerville Wellness Center – discovered that 81% of patients showed 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) Pflugerville chiropractic relief for post-surgical back pain patients often meets a patient’s expectation of back pain relief. Pflugerville Wellness Center 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 describes a patient who had experienced back surgery expecting pain relief and post-surgically discovered pain relief with chiropractic Cox® Technic care.

Pflugerville back pain sufferers frequently get relief by flexing forward just a bit, not flexing backward into extension. (Read 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 stop Pflugerville back pain is essential. Research reports that lumbar spine extension weakness and extensor muscle deconditioning are found in Pflugerville chiropractic patients with chronic low back pain. (5) Why? Back muscles degenerate in back pain sufferers like spinal discs degenerate. (6) Add extension exercises into your day when your Pflugerville chiropractor tells you it is appropriate.
