West Des Moines BACK SURGERY? STILL HAVE PAIN?
Chiropractic Cox® Technic Can Help.
Most West Des Moines back pain patients choose back surgery expecting West Des Moines back pain relief. That
expectation is not always met. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is
told by West Des Moines back surgery patients and reads it
in the spine literature. 49-58% relief of pain for sciatica (leg pain) because
of a disc herniation is common. (1) Post-surgical back
pain patients may discover that they experience back pain
after West Des Moines back surgery. What are some choices?
Spinal manipulation and exercise is one such option. The
American College of Physicians and American Pain Society suggest
spinal manipulation for low back pain relief. (2) One patient experienced
89% improvement with 12 spinal manipulation sessions plus exercise. (3) A study
of 69 post-surgical back pain patients treated with Cox® Technic
- like they are at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa – discovered that 81% of
patients exhibited at least 50% reduction of pain at the end of 3
months of care. 78.6% of those patients had persistent pain
relief at 24 months follow up. (4) West Des Moines chiropractic
relief for post-surgical back pain patients often meets a patient’s expectation
of back pain relief. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa invites you or a suffering friend or
family member to visit today.
Listen to this PODCAST
on The Back Doctors’ Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson in which Dr. David Atiyeh
describes a patient who had undergone
back surgery expecting pain relief and post-surgically found
pain relief with chiropractic Cox® Technic care.

TIP OF THE MONTH:
Extension Exercise
West Des Moines back pain sufferers frequently
get relief by flexing forward just a bit, not flexing
backward into extension. (Read the SPINE article May 2018 on
our website about why!) Extension is not all bad. A healthy spine can extend. A
healthy spine needs strong back muscles to support
all its motions. Strengthening those extensor muscles to stop
West Des Moines back pain is important. Research shows
that lumbar spine extension weakness and extensor muscle deconditioning are
found in West Des Moines chiropractic patients with chronic low back pain. (5)
Why? Back muscles degenerate in back pain sufferers like spinal discs degenerate.
(6) Add extension exercises into your day when your West Des Moines
chiropractor tells you it is appropriate. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa
can help!
