Johnson Chiropractics September 2017 Healthy Newsletter

Research states that those who go through rehabilitation after back disc surgery find themselves with more favorable treatment outcomes in the year following the back surgery. They return to work. (1) Some back surgery patients don’t undergo rehabilitation by choice or by not being directed to do so. For those who face continued pain after back surgery (also known as “failed back surgical syndrome”), Richmond chiropractic Cox Technic spinal manipulation care may help ease the pain without another surgery. A study of 69 post-surgical continued pain patients visiting a chiropractor using Cox Technic documents that 81% of these patients achieved more than 50% pain relief in 11 visits over a 49-day period of active care. (2) That can be enough relief to return 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 suffering back pain post-back surgery, Johnson Chiropractic can help with gentle, research-documented, Richmond 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 explain 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 reduces your chances of low back pain. (4) Ask Johnson Chiropractic about chondroitin sulfate supplementation and exercise as additions to your Richmond chiropractic treatment plan for your disc’s health and healing!
