Montreal Chiropractic Relief for Back Pain After Surgery

March 28, 2017

Back surgery. It’s an option some choose for back pain relief. About 50% of them report relief at one year later. What then? More back surgery? More pain medications? A spine stimulator? Physical therapy? Chiropractic? Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic would add chiropractic care as a viable approach before back surgery, and Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic  welcomes back pain patients to the Montreal back pain specialty practice even if they’ve already undergone back surgery and continued to have pain. Chiropractic is a non-surgical method to relieve Montreal spine pain, and Cox Technic is the chiropractic treatment protocol that has much evidence-based research as its foundation with documented clinical outcomes of alleviating and controlling back pain. It satisfies Montreal back pain patients seeking relief. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic offers it to their Montreal 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 

A FBSS diagnosis is certainly not one a post-surgical back pain patient wants to consider let alone experience. It’s a possibility though. Often another surgery isn’t the desired answer for these types of back pain sufferers. Often such a patient is transferred to physical therapy, recommended medications or injections, even implanted with a spine stimulator. Often such a patient welcomes options beyond those medical approaches. Sometimes such a patient wishes he or she had tried something else before back surgery. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic stands ready with its Montreal chiropractic care to help at any stage of the process of back pain and its relief.
 
Chiropractic Care for FBSS 

Low back pain care with chiropractic is shown to be equally beneficial as physical therapy with no serious adverse side-effects. This review report further states that “the decision to seek or to refer patients for chiropractic care should be based on patient preference and values.” (1) That is what evidence-based medicine is all about: seek out the best evidence from the research, pursue care from the back pain specialist who is clinically adept, and meet patient expectations and preferences. That is 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.

Decision Making 

How does one make that decision 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 present patients with impartial 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 is really appealing. Being human, the healthcare provider seeing a patient in pain wants to help that back pain patient get rid of the pain fast, too. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic certainly does. Our Montreal back pain sufferers are appreciative when they get relief after care.

So Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic shares these recent chiropractic-outcome articles with Montreal 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 greater 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 percent of relief was 71.6% at 3 months and 70% at 24 months. (3) Then, researchers report that no adverse effects from chiropractic manipulation or mobilization treatment applied to patients who have implanted spine stimulators for pain control are observed in their findings. (4) Finally, a post-surgical patient reacts positively to rehabilitation and Cox Technic spinal manipulation care, reporting pain decreasing from 8 to 3 on a 10 point scale over 12 visits in 3 months. (5) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic finds that a combination approach for pain relief is usually most productive for our Montreal chiropractic patients.

Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic makes a chiropractic treatment plan custom-made for each Montreal chiropractic patient that involves the following: recommendation of a variety of approaches as appropriate, interaction with fellow healthcare colleagues as necessary, presentation of the latest in clinical outcomes of care options available, and standing by you, our Montreal post-surgical continued back pain patient, through it all.
