CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION BEFORE BACK SURGERY
Self-care is frequently 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 groups like the American College of Physicians and American Pain Society. (1) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa specializes in a gentle, evidence-based spinal manipulation treatment called Cox® Technic for relief of back pain that may well help West Des Moines back pain sufferers refrain from 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. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa realizes this. Exercise is documented to be advantageous for non-surgical pain relief for patients with spinal stenosis. (2) The right type of exercise is key, so we will talk about what is right for you! Maybe Pilates would be your exercise of choice. A study of chronic musculoskeletal pain patients who undertook a Pilates-based exercise program revealed that the pain patients better functioned and coped with their pain condition more independently and efficiently. They performed better at work, enjoyed 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 enjoy a healthier way of life. (3) These benefits arose 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 carefully. They established 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’ frame of mind got better as they exercised. They had time to contemplate their treatment and lifestyle options. Even patients who didn’t describe symptom improvement reacted well to this program as they felt more confident managing their pain themselves. (4) These are all beneficial outcomes West Des Moines back pain patients discover in their chiropractic care at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa. Control not cure is a realistic goal when dealing with back pain.
