Before undergoing back surgery, Groton back pain
sufferers can benefit
from pre-back surgery chiropractic care and exercise. Research continues
to share the usefulness
of non-surgical treatment for back pain relief. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is
the chiropractic care office in Groton for both!
CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION BEFORE BACK SURGERY
Self-care is often proposed
as initial treatment for back pain patients. If that does
not produce the desired results, 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 promoted
by medical physician organizations like the American College of Physicians
and American Pain Society. (1) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office uses
a gentle, evidence-based spinal manipulation treatment in the form of Cox® Technic for relief of back pain that may well help
Groton back pain sufferers avoid back
surgery and manage their back pain more independently.
EXERCISE FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF
Back pain sufferers want to help themselves
as much as possible. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office realizes this. Exercise is shown valuable for non-surgical
pain relief for patients with spinal stenosis. (2) The right form
of exercise is key, so we’ll 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 discovered that the pain patients better functioned
and coped with their pain condition more independently
and efficiently. They performed better at work, took
pleasure in 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 came
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 established exercise programs for each patient to do. They
found that back pain patients who underwent
this pre-surgery program of description 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’ mood improved as they exercised. They had time to reflect on their treatment and lifestyle options. Even patients who did not
describe symptom improvement reacted 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 Groton back pain
patients discover in their chiropractic care at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office.
Control not cure is a realistic goal when dealing
with back pain.
