Before undergoing back surgery, Largo back pain
sufferers can benefit
from pre-back surgery chiropractic care and exercise. Research keeps documenting the benefit
of non-surgical care for back pain relief. Hollstrom & Associates Inc is
the chiropractic care office in Largo for both!
CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION BEFORE BACK SURGERY
Self-care is often proposed
as initial 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 suggested
by medical physician groups like the American College of Physicians
and American Pain Society. (1) Hollstrom & Associates Inc uses
a gentle, evidence-based spinal manipulation treatment called Cox® Technic to relieve back pain that may well assist
Largo back pain sufferers evade back
surgery and control their back pain more self-sufficiently.
EXERCISE FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF
Back pain sufferers would like to help themselves
as much as possible. Hollstrom & Associates Inc knows this. Exercise is documented
to be positive for non-surgical
pain relief for patients with spinal stenosis. (2) The right form
of exercise is vital, so we’ll discuss 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 did better at work, took
pleasure in hobbies more, were motivated to keep exercising,
did more to manage their own pain conditions without
outside help. These, in turn, helped them discover
a healthier way of life. (3) These benefits came
without back surgery.
EXERCISE BEFORE BACK SURGERY
Researchers set up a trial of exercise for
back pain patients scheduled for back surgery. They described
the back pain condition to the patients thoroughly. 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 benefitted in several ways: The back pain sufferers felt better
exercising than being inactive while waiting for surgery. The back pain
sufferers’ frame of mind improved 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 felt more confident in being able to
do some self-management of their pain. (4)
These are all beneficial outcomes Largo back pain
patients discover in their chiropractic care at Hollstrom & Associates Inc.
Control not cure is a reasonable objective when coping
with back pain.
