Oxford Chiropractic Relief for Back Pain After Surgery
Back surgery. It’s an option some choose for back pain relief. At one year follow up, generally around 50% of surgical patients report continued relief. What then? Another back surgery? More pain medications? A spine stimulator? Physical therapy? Chiropractic? Satterwhite Chiropractic would add chiropractic care as a viable option before back surgery, and Satterwhite Chiropractic welcomes back pain patients to the Oxford back pain specialty practice even if they have already undergone back surgery and still have pain. Chiropractic is a non-surgical method to relieve Oxford spine pain, and Cox Technic is the chiropractic treatment protocol that offers much evidence-based research as its foundation with documented clinical outcomes of relieving and controlling back pain. It fulfills Oxford back pain patients’ desire for relief. Satterwhite Chiropractic offers it to their Oxford back pain patients if they find themselves with post-surgical continued pain or the condition diagnosis of “failed back surgery syndrome” (FBSS).
Post Surgical Continued Pain Diagnosis
Low back pain care with chiropractic shows itself to be equally effective as physical therapy with no serious adverse side-effects. This review report goes on to say that “the decision to seek or to refer patients for chiropractic care should be based on patient preference and values.” (1) That’s what evidence-based medicine is all about: seek out the best evidence from the research, seek care from the back pain specialist who is clinically proficient, and meet patient expectations and preferences. That’s what chiropractic research continues to do: produce the research and publish the outcomes for the public to base its decision on what is best for managing their back pain.
How to decide though? Surgeons, pain control specialists, physical therapists and chiropractors all offer their various approaches that seem plausible for relief, the pain suffering patient may have trouble deciding. What will help? Have all of these providers provide patients with unbiased information about the potential benefits and risks of the options. (2) Everyone knows though that when the pain is intense, the first offer of relief looks really good. Being human, the healthcare provider seeing a patient in pain wants to help that back pain patient get rid of the pain fast, too. Satterwhite Chiropractic certainly does. Our Oxford back pain sufferers are appreciative when they get relief after care.
So Satterwhite Chiropractic shares these recent chiropractic-outcome articles with Oxford back pain patients: spinal manipulation relief for post-surgical continued pain patients and for post-implanted and currently wearing spinal stimulator patients. A study of 69 post-surgical continued pain patients, 80% of patients showed more than 50% relief of pain at the end of care (3 months) in a mean of 49 days and 11 visits, and 78.6% reported 50% relief of pain at 24 months follow up. The amount of relief was 71.6% at 3 months and 70% at 24 months. (3) Then, researchers tell that no adverse effects from chiropractic manipulation or mobilization treatment applied to patients who have implanted spine stimulators for pain control are seen in their findings. (4) Finally, a post-surgical patient reacts positively to rehabilitation and Cox Technic spinal manipulation care, registering pain dropping from 8 to 3 on a 10 point scale over 12 visits in 3 months. (5) Satterwhite Chiropractic observes that a combination approach for pain relief is usually best for our Oxford chiropractic patients.
Every Oxford chiropractic patient is matched with his or her very own, personalized treatment plan that involves the following: recommendation of a variety of approaches as appropriate, interaction with fellow healthcare colleagues as needed, presentation of the newest in clinical outcomes of care options available, and standing by you, our Oxford post-surgical continued back pain patient, all the way.
