Bouncing back from back surgery can be
a difficult and frustrating path, particularly
when pain continues. However, a combination of directed
exercises and focused chiropractic techniques, such as Cox
Technic Flexion Distraction, can substantially boost
recovery and decrease post-surgical back pain.
Exercise as a Cornerstone for Recovery
Exercise is one of the most effective tools
in containing post-surgical back pain. A recent systematic
review and meta-analysis published in the American Journal of Physical Medicine
& Rehabilitation (2024) highlights its role in alleviating
pain and disability after lumbar disc herniation surgery. The study reviewed
multiple randomized controlled trials and found that structured
physical exercise programs not only reduce pain but also boost
mobility and general quality of life for post-surgical back
pain patients. (1) Wilson Family Chiropractic incorporates exercise in
all our Millville chiropractic patients’ treatment plans. It’s that helpful!
Key benefits of exercise include:
- Improved blood flow to promote
healing.
- Boosted core and back muscles to support
the spine.
- Improved mental well-being by decreasing
stress and anxiety linked with chronic pain.
However, post-surgical patients should always work closely
with their healthcare providers like their Millville chiropractor to create
personalized, safe, and helpful exercise
regimens personalized to their recovery needs.
The Role of Cox Technic Flexion Distraction
For several post-surgery patients, Cox Technic
Flexion Distraction offers additional relief from lower
back and radicular pain. This chiropractic treatment that Wilson Family Chiropractic uses is
gentle, controlled spinal decompression to reduce pressure on
the nerves and discs, while boosting spinal mobility. A
retrospective case series published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine
(2016) found that patients with continued low
back pain after surgery got significant improvements with
this technique. (2)
Key benefits of Cox Technic Flexion Distraction incorporate:
- Lowered nerve irritation and inflammation.
- Gradual and pain-free restoration of
spinal function.
- Safe application for patients with specific
surgical histories.
