Before undergoing back surgery, Pflugerville 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. Pflugerville Wellness Center is
the chiropractic care office in Pflugerville for both!
CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION BEFORE BACK SURGERY
Self-care is often suggested
as first-line treatment for back pain patients. If that does
not 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 suggested
by medical physician groups like the American College of Physicians
and American Pain Society. (1) Pflugerville Wellness Center uses
a gentle, evidence-based spinal manipulation treatment called Cox® Technic to relieve back pain that may well help
Pflugerville back pain sufferers avoid 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. Pflugerville Wellness Center realizes this. Exercise is shown valuable for non-surgical
pain relief for patients with spinal stenosis. (2) The proper form
of exercise is key, so we will talk
about what’s proper 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 coped with their pain condition more independently
and effectively. They performed better at work, took
pleasure in hobbies more, were motivated to keep exercising,
did more to manage their own pain conditions without
outside help. These, in turn, motivated them to experience
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 scheduled for back surgery. They described
the back pain condition to the patients thoroughly. They established exercise programs for each patient to do. They
discovered that back pain patients who experienced
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’ frame of mind improved as they exercised. They had time to mull
over their treatment and lifestyle options. Even patients who did not
report symptom improvement responded well to this
program as they felt more confident managing their pain themselves. (4)
These are all beneficial outcomes Pflugerville back pain
patients discover in their chiropractic care at Pflugerville Wellness Center.
Control not cure is a reasonable objective when dealing
with back pain.
