FAILED BACK SURGICAL SYNDROME PAIN: HOW COMMON? CHIROPRACTIC
CAN HELP.
Researchers stated that degenerative
disc disease and low back pain turns into chronic low back
pain for many after back surgery discectomy. How many
had back pain beyond 6 months post-surgery? They
found that nearly 15% had failed back surgical
syndrome (FBSS). (1) Chiropractic care is well-known for its
conservative treatment of back pain and neck pain. Now,
the chiropractic Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management is
proving itself valuable for
easing post-surgical FBSS spine pain. A retrospective study of
69 such patients treated by 15 chiropractors experienced in
Cox® Technic protocols recorded greater than 50% relief of pain
for 81% of patients in a mean of 11 visits in a 49 day period of
active care. The relief at the end of care sustained
at 2 years follow-up: 78.6% continued with relief. The percentage of relief
stayed high: 71.6% at end of care and 70% at 24 months. (2) In a
prospective study of patients cared for with Cox® Technic, 8 of 11
post-surgical FBSS patients reported reduced or discontinued opioid use. (3) We are
ready to help our FBSS back pain patients whose lingers after back surgery and get you back to enjoying
life!
[[Chiropractic]] HEALTH TIP OF THE MONTH:
EXERCISE AFTER BACK SURGERY: Straight Leg Raise
The straight leg raise is a versatile movement. It
is tested by healthcare providers like your
Oxford chiropractor when figuring out the source
of back pain and disc involvement. A recent study
disclosed that the inability to do a straight leg after back surgery
increased the risk of undergoing another surgery.
(4) Luckily, it’s a pretty simple
exercise. How do you do the straight leg raise? Lie on a supportive
surface. Bend one leg’s knee and place its foot on the floor. With the other
leg flat and hips rooted on the floor, lift the
straight leg off the floor. Hold for 3 seconds and put it down again. Do that movement 10 times. Then, repeat with the other leg. If that is hard to do,
there are some variations. (5) Let's discuss
what is right for you before you do these
on your own!
