Overcoming Post-Surgical San Jose Back Pain: How Exercise and Cox Technic Flexion Distraction Can Help

Recovering from back surgery can be a challenging path, particularly when pain continues. However, a combination of targeted exercises and specialized chiropractic techniques, such as Cox Technic Flexion Distraction, can significantly improve recovery and decrease post-surgical back pain.

Exercise as a Foundation for Recovery

Exercise is one of the most valuable tools in containing post-surgical back pain. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis published in the American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (2024) features its role in alleviating pain and disability after lumbar disc herniation surgery. The study reviewed multiple randomized controlled trials and found that well-defined physical exercise programs not only reduce pain but also improve mobility and general quality of life for post-surgical back pain patients.

Top benefits of exercise include:

  • Enhanced blood flow to support healing.
  • Strengthened core and back muscles to reinforce the spine.
  • Improved mental well-being by reducing stress and anxiety linked with chronic pain.

However, post-surgical patients should always work closely with their healthcare providers like their San Jose chiropractor to create individualized, safe, and effective exercise regimens personalized to their recovery needs.

The Role of Cox Technic Flexion Distraction

For many post-surgery patients, Cox Technic Flexion Distraction offers additional relief from lower back and radicular pain. This chiropractic treatment that Chiropractic Solutions uses is gentle, controlled spinal decompression to decrease pressure on the nerves and discs, while boosting spinal mobility. A retrospective case series published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine (2016) found that patients who have continued low back pain after surgery experienced significant improvements with this technique.

Key benefits of Cox Technic Flexion Distraction include:

  1. Reduced nerve irritation and inflammation.
  2. Slow and steady and pain-free restoration of spinal function.
  3. Safe application for patients with specific surgical histories.
