Arctic Chiropractic, Sitkas September 2017 Healthy Newsletter

Research reports that those who undergo rehab4 after back disc surgery have better treatment outcomes in the year following the back surgery. They go back to work. (1) Some back surgery patients do not undergo rehabilitation by their own decision or by not being told to do so. For those who face continued pain after back surgery (also referred to as “failed back surgical syndrome”), Sitka chiropractic Cox Technic spinal manipulation care may help ease the pain without further surgery. A study of 69 post-surgical continued pain patients seeing a chiropractor using Cox Technic documents that 81% of these patients achieved greater than 50% pain relief in 11 visits over a 49-day period of active care. (2) That can be ample relief to get these patients to enjoy their lives again! If you, a loved one or a friend didn’t do any rehab work after back surgery and/or are experiencing back pain post-back surgery, Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka can help with gentle, research-documented, Sitka chiropractic care and treatment.

Exercise is good for the nutritional state of your spinal discs! The discs are comprised of glycosaminoglycans which are comprised of chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, glucosamine sulfate. Researchers explain that physical exercise does not deplete glycosaminoglycans; exercise enhances 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 Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka about chondroitin sulfate supplementation and exercise as accompaniments to your Sitka chiropractic treatment plan for your disc’s health and healing!
