Overcoming Post-Surgical Manahawkin Back Pain: How Exercise and Cox Technic Flexion Distraction Can Help
Bouncing back from back surgery can be a difficult and frustrating path, especially when persistent pain lingers. However, a combination of targeted exercises and focused chiropractic techniques, such as Cox Technic Flexion Distraction, can significantly improve recovery and decrease post-surgical back pain.
Exercise as a Cornerstone for Recovery
Exercise is one of the most effective tools in containing post-surgical back pain. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis published in the American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (2024) highlights its role in alleviating pain and disability after lumbar disc herniation surgery. The study assessed multiple randomized controlled trials and found that well-defined physical exercise programs not only reduce pain but also improve mobility and overall quality of life for post-surgical back pain patients.

Key benefits of exercise include:
- Enhanced blood flow to support healing.
- Strengthened core and back muscles to support the spine.
- Improved mental well-being by decreasing stress and anxiety associated with chronic pain.
However, post-surgical patients should always work closely with their healthcare providers like their Manahawkin chiropractor to create individualized, safe, and helpful exercise regimens tailored to their recovery needs.

For several post-surgery patients, Cox Technic Flexion Distraction offers extra relief from lower back and radicular pain. This chiropractic treatment that Manahawkin Chiropractic Center uses is gentle, controlled spinal decompression to decrease pressure on the nerves and discs, while enhancing spinal mobility.
