CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION BEFORE BACK SURGERY

Self-care is frequently proposed as first-line treatment for back pain patients. If that doesn’t produce the desired results, adding non-drug therapy for acute low back pain – spinal manipulation – and for chronic or subacute back pain – spinal manipulation, intensive interdisciplinary rehab, exercise, acupuncture, massage, yoga, cognitive behavioral therapy - is recommended by medical physician organizations like the American College of Physicians and American Pain Society.

They did better at work, took pleasure in hobbies more, were motivated to keep exercising, did more to make do with their own pain conditions independently. These, in turn, helped them discover a healthier way of life. (3) These benefits resulted without back surgery.

EXERCISE BEFORE BACK SURGERY
