Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centres September 2017 Healthy Newsletter

Research documents that those who go through rehab4 after back disc surgery find themselves with more favorable treatment outcomes in the year after the back surgery. They return to work. (1) Some back surgery patients don’t undergo rehabilitation by their own decision or by not being directed to do it. For those who experience continued pain after back surgery (also known as “failed back surgical syndrome”), Toronto chiropractic Cox Technic spinal manipulation care may help ease the pain without another surgical intervention. A study of 69 post-surgical continued pain patients seeing a chiropractor using Cox Technic finds that 81% of these patients achieved greater than 50% pain relief in 11 visits over a 49-day period of active care. (2) That can be ample relief to get these patients to enjoy their lives again! If you, a loved one or a friend didn’t do any rehab work after back surgery and/or are experiencing back pain post-back surgery, Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre can help with gentle, research-documented, Toronto chiropractic care and treatment.

Exercise is beneficial for the nutritional state of your spinal discs! The discs are made up of glycosaminoglycans which are made chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, glucosamine sulfate. Researchers explain that physical exercise does not deplete glycosaminoglycans; exercise increases their concentration even in overtraining situations. (3) Plus doing some muscle strengthening activities twice a week lowers your chances of low back pain. (4) Talk with Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre about chondroitin sulfate supplementation and exercise as additions to your Toronto chiropractic treatment plan for your disc’s health and healing!
