Arctic Chiropractic, Sitkas September 2017 Healthy Newsletter

Research states that those who go through rehab4 after back disc surgery experience more favorable treatment outcomes in the year after the back surgery. They go back to work. (1) Some back surgery patients don’t undergo rehabilitation by their own decision or by not being told to do it. 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 seeking care from a chiropractor using Cox Technic reports that 81% of these patients acquired more 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 did not do any rehabilitation after back surgery and/or are undergoing back pain post-back surgery, Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka can help with gentle, research-documented, Sitka chiropractic care and treatment.

Exercise is beneficial 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 does not 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 Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka about chondroitin sulfate supplementation and exercise as accompaniments to your Sitka chiropractic treatment plan for your disc’s health and healing!
