Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitations September 2017 Healthy Newsletter

Research documents that those who go through rehabilitation after back disc surgery have more favorable treatment outcomes in the year after the back surgery. They go back to work. (1) Some back surgery patients don’t undergo rehabilitation by choice or by not being directed to do it. For those who experience continued pain after back surgery (also called “failed back surgical syndrome”), Carrolltown chiropractic Cox Technic spinal manipulation care may help relieve the pain without further surgery. A study of 69 post-surgical continued pain patients seeking care from a chiropractor using Cox Technic reports that 81% of these patients achieved more than 50% pain relief in 11 visits over a 49-day period of active care. (2) That can be adequate relief to return these patients to enjoy their lives again! If you, a loved one or a friend did not do any rehab work after back surgery and/or are undergoing back pain post-back surgery, Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation can help with gentle, research-documented, Carrolltown chiropractic care and treatment.

Exercise is beneficial for the nutritional state of your spinal discs! The discs are comprised of glycosaminoglycans which are comprised of chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, glucosamine sulfate. Researchers explain that physical exercise does not lessen glycosaminoglycans; exercise increases their concentration even in overtraining situations. (3) Plus doing some muscle strengthening activities twice a week lowers your odds of low back pain. (4) Ask Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation about chondroitin sulfate supplementation and exercise as accompaniments to your Carrolltown chiropractic treatment plan for your disc’s health and healing!
