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

Most Toronto back pain patients choose back surgery expecting Toronto back pain relief. That expectation isn’t always met. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre hears this from Toronto back surgery patients and studies it in the spine research reports.  49-58% relief of pain for sciatica (leg pain) due to a disc herniation is usual. (1) Post-surgical back pain patients may find that they experience back pain after Toronto back surgery. What are some choices? Spinal manipulation and exercise is one such option. The American College of Physicians and American Pain Society recommend 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 Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre – 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 continued pain relief at 24 months follow up. (4) Toronto chiropractic relief for post-surgical back pain patients often meets a patient’s expectation of back pain relief. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre 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.

Toronto back pain sufferers frequently experience 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 solid back muscles to support all its movements. Strengthening those extensor muscles to prevent Toronto back pain is important. Research reports that lumbar spine extension weakness and extensor muscle deconditioning are found in Toronto chiropractic patients with chronic low back pain. (5) Why? Back muscles degenerate in back pain sufferers like spinal discs degenerate. (6) Integrate extension exercises into your day when your Toronto chiropractor tells you it’s appropriate.
