Baton Rouge Chiropractic Care Helps Back Pain After Back Surgery Surgery and Integrates Extension Exercise into the Treatment Plan

Many Baton Rouge back pain patients undergo back surgery expecting Baton Rouge back pain relief. That expectation is not always met. Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation is told by Baton Rouge back surgery patients and studies 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 have back pain after Baton Rouge back surgery. What are some options? Spinal manipulation and exercise is one relieving option. The American College of Physicians and American Pain Society recommend spinal manipulation for low back pain relief. (2) One patient reported 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 Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation – 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) Baton Rouge chiropractic relief for post-surgical back pain patients often meets a patient’s expectation of back pain relief. Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation 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 experienced back surgery expecting pain relief and post-surgically discovered pain relief with chiropractic Cox® Technic care.

Baton Rouge back pain sufferers frequently experience relief by flexing forward just a bit, not flexing backward into extension. (Check out the SPINE article May 2018 on our website about why!) Extension is not all bad. A healthy spine can extend. A healthy spine requires solid back muscles to support all its movements. Strengthening those extensor muscles to prevent Baton Rouge back pain is important. Research shows that lumbar spine extension weakness and extensor muscle deconditioning are found in Baton Rouge 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 Baton Rouge chiropractor tells you it’s appropriate. Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation can help!
