La Grande Chiropractic Care Helps Back Pain After Back Surgery Surgery and Integrates Extension Exercise into the Treatment Plan

Many La Grande back pain patients go to back surgery expecting La Grande back pain relief. That expectation is not always met. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is told by La Grande back surgery patients and studies it in the spine literature.  49-58% relief of pain for sciatica (leg pain) due to a disc herniation is common. (1) Post-surgical back pain patients may find that they have back pain after La Grande back surgery. What are some options? Spinal manipulation and exercise is one relieving option. The American College of Physicians and American Pain Society suggest spinal manipulation for low back pain relief. (2) One patient reported 89% improvement with 12 spinal manipulation sessions plus exercise. (3) A study of 69 post-surgical back pain patients cared for with Cox® Technic - like they are at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC – found that 81% of patients showed at least 50% reduction of pain at the end of 3 months of care. 78.6% of those patients had continued pain relief at 2 years’ follow up. (4) La Grande chiropractic relief for post-surgical back pain patients often meets a patient’s expectation of back pain relief. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC invites you or a suffering friend or family member to visit today.

Listen to this PODCAST on The Back Doctors’ Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson in which Dr. David Atiyeh describes a patient who had experienced back surgery expecting pain relief and post-surgically discovered pain relief with chiropractic Cox® Technic care.

La Grande back pain sufferers frequently experience relief by flexing forward just a bit, not flexing backward into extension. (Read the SPINE article May 2018 on our website about why!) Extension is not all bad. A healthy spine can extend. A healthy spine requires solid back muscles to support all its motions. Strengthening those extensor muscles to stop La Grande back pain is important. Research reports that lumbar spine extension weakness and extensor muscle deconditioning are found in La Grande chiropractic patients with chronic low back pain. (5) Why? Back muscles degenerate in back pain sufferers like spinal discs degenerate. (6) Add extension exercises into your day when your La Grande chiropractor tells you it is appropriate. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC can help!
