Connected Chiropractics September 2017 Healthy Newsletter

Research reports that those who take advantage of rehab4 after back disc surgery experience better treatment outcomes in the year after the back surgery. They return to work. (1) Some back surgery patients do not undergo rehabilitation by their own decision or by not being directed to do it. For those who have continued pain after back surgery (also called “failed back surgical syndrome”), Elgin chiropractic Cox Technic spinal manipulation care may help ease the pain without another surgical intervention. A study of 69 post-surgical continued pain patients visiting a chiropractor using Cox Technic reports that 81% of these patients gained more than 50% pain relief in 11 visits over a 49-day period of active care. (2) That can be enough 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 undergoing back pain post-back surgery, Connected Chiropractic can help with gentle, research-documented, Elgin chiropractic care and treatment.

Exercise is helpful 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 explain that physical exercise doesn’t reduce glycosaminoglycans; exercise increases their concentration even in overtraining situations. (3) Plus doing some muscle strengthening activities twice a week lowers your odds of low back pain. (4) Ask Connected Chiropractic about chondroitin sulfate supplementation and exercise as additions to your Elgin chiropractic treatment plan for your disc’s health and healing!
