San Jose Chiropractic Relief for Back Pain After Surgery
Back surgery. It is an option some choose to get relief of their back pain. At one year follow up, generally around 50% of surgical patients report continued relief. What’s next? More back surgery? Additional pain medications? A spine stimulator? Physical therapy? Chiropractic? Chiropractic Solutions would add chiropractic care as a worthwhile option before back surgery, and Chiropractic Solutions welcomes back pain patients to the San Jose back pain specialty practice even if they have already undergone back surgery and still have pain. Chiropractic is a non-surgical approach to alleviate San Jose spine pain, and Cox Technic is the chiropractic treatment protocol that is based on evidence-based research with documented clinical outcomes of alleviating and controlling back pain. It satisfies San Jose back pain patients seeking relief. Chiropractic Solutions presents it to their San Jose back pain patients if they find themselves with post-surgical continued pain or the condition diagnosis of “failed back surgery syndrome” (FBSS).
Post Surgical Continued Pain Diagnosis
Low back pain care with chiropractic shows itself to be equally beneficial as physical therapy with no serious adverse side-effects. This review report goes on to say that “the decision to seek or to refer patients for chiropractic care should be based on patient preference and values.” (1) That is what evidence-based medicine is all about: seek out the best evidence from the research, seek care from the back pain specialist who is clinically adept, and meet patient expectations and preferences. That’s what chiropractic research continues to do: produce the research and publish the outcomes for the public to base its decision on what is best for managing their back pain.
How does one make that decision though? When a surgeon proposes surgery or a pain medicine doctor offers medication or a physical therapist offers exercise or a chiropractor offers spinal manipulation in one form or another, how does the relief-seeking San Jose back pain patient decide? Have all of these providers provide patients with impartial information about the potential benefits and risks of the options. (2) Everyone knows though that when the pain is intense, the first offer of relief is really appealing. Being human, the healthcare provider seeing a patient in pain wants to help that back pain patient get rid of the pain fast, too. Chiropractic Solutions certainly does. Our San Jose back pain sufferers are grateful when they get relief after care.
So Chiropractic Solutions wants to share recent chiropractic-outcome articles with San Jose back pain patients: spinal manipulation relief for post-surgical continued pain patients and for post-implanted and currently wearing spinal stimulator patients. A study of 69 post-surgical continued pain patients, 80% of patients showed greater than 50% relief of pain at the conclusion of care (3 months) in a mean of 49 days and 11 visits, and 78.6% continued with their 50% relief of pain at 24 months follow up. The amount of relief was 71.6% at 3 months and 70% at 24 months. (3) Then, researchers state that no adverse effects from chiropractic manipulation or mobilization treatment applied to patients who have implanted spine stimulators for pain control are noted in their findings. (4) Finally, a post-surgical patient reacts positively to rehabilitation and Cox Technic spinal manipulation care, reporting pain dropping from 8 to 3 on a 10 point scale over 12 visits in 3 months. (5) Chiropractic Solutions observes that a combination approach for pain relief is usually most beneficial for our San Jose chiropractic patients.
Every San Jose chiropractic patient is matched with his or her very own, personalized treatment plan that involves the following: combination of approaches as appropriate, cooperation with fellow healthcare colleagues as necessary, presentation of the latest in clinical outcomes of care options existing, and support for you, our San Jose post-surgical continued back pain patient, all the way.
