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

Most Williamson back pain patients undergo back surgery expecting Williamson back pain relief. That expectation isn’t always met. Apple Country Chiropractic hears this from Williamson 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 common. (1) Post-surgical back pain patients may find that they experience back pain after Williamson back surgery. What are some choices? Spinal manipulation and exercise is one relieving option. The American College of Physicians and American Pain Society suggest 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 cared for with Cox® Technic - like they are at Apple Country Chiropractic – found that 81% of patients showed at least 50% reduction of pain at the end of 3 months of care. 78.6% of those patients had persistent pain relief at 2 years’ follow up. (4) Williamson chiropractic relief for post-surgical back pain patients often meets a patient’s expectation of back pain relief. Apple Country Chiropractic 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 undergone back surgery expecting pain relief and post-surgically discovered pain relief with chiropractic Cox® Technic care.

Williamson back pain sufferers frequently find 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 motions. Strengthening those extensor muscles to prevent Williamson back pain is important. Research reports that lumbar spine extension weakness and extensor muscle deconditioning are found in Williamson 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 Williamson chiropractor tells you it is appropriate.
