Before undergoing back surgery, Manchester back pain
sufferers will do well to undergo chiropractic care and exercise. Research keeps documenting the value
of non-surgical care for back pain relief. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is
the chiropractic care office in Manchester for both!
CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION BEFORE BACK SURGERY
Self-care is often proposed
as first-line 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) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries specializes in
a gentle, evidence-based spinal manipulation treatment known
as Cox® Technic to relieve back pain that may well help
Manchester back pain sufferers evade back
surgery and control their back pain more independently.
EXERCISE FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF
Back pain sufferers want to help themselves
as much as possible. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries knows this. Exercise is shown valuable for non-surgical
pain relief for patients with spinal stenosis. (2) The proper type
of exercise is vital, so we will discuss what’s right for you! Maybe
Pilates would be your exercise of choice. 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 effectively. They performed better at work, took
pleasure in hobbies more, were motivated to keep exercising,
did more to manage their own pain conditions independently. These, in turn, motivated them to enjoy
a healthier lifestyle. (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 explained
the back pain condition to the patients thoroughly. They set
up exercise programs for each patient to perform. They
discovered that back pain patients who underwent
this pre-surgery program of description 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 thought themselves more confident in being able to
do some self-management of their pain. (4)
These are all beneficial outcomes Manchester back pain
patients find in their chiropractic care at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries.
Control not cure is a realistic goal when coping
with back pain.
