Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLCs September 2017 Healthy Newsletter

Research documents that those who take advantage of rehabilitation after back disc surgery experience more favorable treatment outcomes in the year after the back surgery. They return to work. (1) Some back surgery patients do not undergo rehabilitation by choice or by not being told to do so. For those who experience continued pain after back surgery (also known as “failed back surgical syndrome”), La Grande chiropractic Cox Technic spinal manipulation care may help relieve the pain without further surgery. A study of 69 post-surgical continued pain patients seeking care from a chiropractor using Cox Technic documents that 81% of these patients achieved greater than 50% pain relief in 11 visits over a 49-day period of active care. (2) That can be sufficient 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, Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC can help with gentle, research-documented, La Grande chiropractic care and treatment.

Exercise is helpful for the nutritional state of your spinal discs! The discs are comprised of glycosaminoglycans which are made chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, glucosamine sulfate. Researchers explain that physical exercise doesn’t lessen glycosaminoglycans; exercise increases their concentration even in overtraining situations. (3) Plus doing some muscle strengthening activities twice a week reduces your chances of low back pain. (4) Ask Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC about chondroitin sulfate supplementation and exercise as accompaniments to your La Grande chiropractic treatment plan for your disc’s health and healing!
