Before undergoing back surgery, Ashburn back pain
sufferers can benefit
from pre-back surgery chiropractic care and exercise. Research continues
to share the benefit
of non-surgical care for back pain relief. InAshburn Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn
is the chiropractic care clinic for both!
CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION BEFORE BACK SURGERY
Self-care is frequently suggested
as first-line treatment for back pain patients. If that doesn’t 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 organizations like the American College of Physicians
and American Pain Society. (1) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn uses
a gentle, evidence-based spinal manipulation treatment known
as Cox® Technic for relief of back pain that may well help
Ashburn back pain sufferers evade back
surgery and manage their back pain more self-sufficiently.
EXERCISE FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF
Back pain sufferers want to help themselves
as much as possible. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn realizes this. Exercise is documented
to be advantageous for non-surgical
pain relief for patients with spinal stenosis. (2) The proper form
of exercise is key, so we’ll discuss what’s proper for you! Maybe
Pilates would be your “thing”. A study of chronic
musculoskeletal pain patients who undertook a Pilates-based
exercise program found that the pain patients better functioned
and managed their pain condition more autonomously
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 independently. These, in turn, helped them experience
a healthier lifestyle. (3) These benefits arose
without back surgery.
EXERCISE BEFORE BACK SURGERY
Researchers established a trial of exercise for
back pain patients scheduled for 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 explanation 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’ frame of mind got
better as they exercised. They had time to mull
over their treatment and lifestyle options. Even patients who did not
report 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 beneficial outcomes Ashburn back pain
patients find in their chiropractic care at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn.
Control not cure is a reasonable objective when coping
with back pain.
