Manahawkin Chiropractic Centers September 2017 Healthy Newsletter

Research states that those who take advantage of rehabilitation after back disc surgery experience better treatment outcomes in the year following the back surgery. They go back to work. (1) Some back surgery patients don’t undergo rehabilitation by choice or by not being directed to do it. For those who face continued pain after back surgery (also called “failed back surgical syndrome”), Manahawkin chiropractic Cox Technic spinal manipulation care may help relieve the pain without further surgical intervention. A study of 69 post-surgical continued pain patients visiting a chiropractor using Cox Technic reports that 81% of these patients acquired 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 rehabilitation after back surgery and/or are feeling back pain post-back surgery, Manahawkin Chiropractic Center can help with gentle, research-documented, Manahawkin chiropractic care and treatment.

Exercise is helpful for the nutrition of your spinal discs! The discs are made up 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 doing some muscle strengthening activities twice a week reduces your chances of low back pain. (4) Talk with Manahawkin Chiropractic Center about chondroitin sulfate supplementation and exercise as accompaniments to your Manahawkin chiropractic treatment plan for your disc’s health and healing!
