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

Most McHenry back pain patients choose back surgery expecting McHenry back pain relief. That expectation isn’t always met. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic hears this from McHenry back surgery patients and reads 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 discover that they experience back pain after McHenry back surgery. What are some options? Spinal manipulation and exercise is one such option. The American College of Physicians and American Pain Society suggest spinal manipulation for low back pain relief. (2) One patient reported 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 OrthoIllinois 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 24 months follow up. (4) McHenry chiropractic relief for post-surgical back pain patients often meets a patient’s expectation of back pain relief. OrthoIllinois 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 shares the case of a patient who had experienced back surgery expecting pain relief and post-surgically discovered pain relief with chiropractic Cox® Technic care.

McHenry back pain sufferers often get 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 requires strong back muscles to support all its motions. Strengthening those extensor muscles to stop McHenry back pain is essential. Research shows that lumbar spine extension weakness and extensor muscle deconditioning are found in McHenry chiropractic patients with chronic low back pain. (5) Why? Back muscles degenerate in back pain sufferers like spinal discs degenerate. (6) Add extension exercises into your day when your McHenry chiropractor tells you it is appropriate. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic can help!
