OrthoIllinois Chiropractics September 2017 Healthy Newsletter

Research states that those who go through rehab4 after back disc surgery experience better treatment outcomes in the year following 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 have continued pain after back surgery (also called “failed back surgical syndrome”), McHenry chiropractic Cox Technic spinal manipulation care may help relieve the pain without another surgery. A study of 69 post-surgical continued pain patients seeking care from a chiropractor using Cox Technic reports that 81% of these patients gained greater than 50% pain relief in 11 visits over a 49-day period of active care. (2) That can be sufficient relief to allow these patients to enjoy their lives again! If you, a loved one or a friend did not do any rehab work after back surgery and/or are feeling back pain post-back surgery, OrthoIllinois Chiropractic can help with gentle, research-documented, McHenry chiropractic care and treatment.

Exercise is good for the nutrition of your spinal discs! The discs are comprised of glycosaminoglycans which are comprised of chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, glucosamine sulfate. Researchers describe that physical exercise doesn’t reduce glycosaminoglycans; exercise increases their concentration even in overtraining situations. (3) Plus performing some muscle strengthening activities twice a week lowers your chances of low back pain. (4) Talk with OrthoIllinois Chiropractic about chondroitin sulfate supplementation and exercise as accompaniments to your McHenry chiropractic treatment plan for your disc’s health and healing!
