Before undergoing back surgery, Fernandina Beach back pain
sufferers can benefit
from pre-back surgery chiropractic care and exercise. Research keeps documenting the benefit
of non-surgical treatment for back pain relief. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is
the chiropractic care office in Fernandina Beach for both!
CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION BEFORE BACK SURGERY
Self-care is often proposed
as initial treatment for back pain patients. If that does
not work, 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 suggested
by medical physician groups like the American College of Physicians
and American Pain Society. (1) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic specializes in
a gentle, evidence-based spinal manipulation treatment in the form of Cox® Technic for relief of back pain that may well assist
Fernandina Beach back pain sufferers refrain from 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. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic realizes this. Exercise is documented
to be beneficial for non-surgical
pain relief for patients with spinal stenosis. (2) The proper type
of exercise is key, so we’ll talk
about what is suitable 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 effectively. They did better at work, took
pleasure in hobbies more, were motivated to keep exercising,
did more to make do with their own pain conditions without
outside help. These, in turn, motivated them to experience
a healthier way of life. (3) These benefits came
without back surgery.
EXERCISE BEFORE BACK SURGERY
Researchers established a trial of exercise for
back pain patients headed to back surgery. They described
the back pain condition to the patients thoroughly. They set
up exercise programs for each patient to do. They
found that back pain patients who experienced
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’ mental state got
better as they exercised. They had time to reflect on their treatment and lifestyle options. Even patients who didn’t
describe symptom improvement responded well to this
program as they thought themselves more confident managing their pain themselves. (4)
These are all beneficial outcomes Fernandina Beach back pain
patients discover in their chiropractic care at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic.
Control not cure is a reasonable goal when dealing
with back pain.
