Overcoming Post-Surgical Auburn Back Pain: How Exercise and Cox Technic Flexion Distraction Can Help

Recovering from back surgery can be a difficult and frustrating path, especially when persistent pain lingers. However, a combination of directed exercises and focused chiropractic techniques, such as Cox Technic Flexion Distraction, can substantially improve recovery and decrease post-surgical back pain.

Exercise as a Foundation for Recovery

Exercise is one of the most effective tools in managing post-surgical back pain. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis published in the American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (2024) features its role in alleviating pain and disability after lumbar disc herniation surgery. The study assessed multiple randomized controlled trials and discovered that structured physical exercise programs not only reduce pain but also boost mobility and overall quality of life in post-surgical back pain patients. (1) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. encourages exercise in all our Auburn chiropractic patients’ treatment plans. It’s that effective!

Key benefits of exercise include:

  • Increased blood flow to support healing.
  • Boosted core and back muscles to reinforce the spine.
  • Improved mental well-being by reducing stress and anxiety associated with chronic pain.

However, post-surgical patients should always work closely with their healthcare providers like their Auburn chiropractor to make individualized, safe, and effective exercise regimens tailored to their recovery needs.

The Role of Cox Technic Flexion Distraction

For many post-surgery patients, Cox Technic Flexion Distraction offers extra relief from lower back and radicular pain. This chiropractic treatment that Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. uses is gentle, controlled spinal decompression to decrease 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 who experience continued low back pain after surgery experienced significant improvements with this technique.

Key benefits of Cox Technic Flexion Distraction incorporate:

  1. Lowered nerve irritation and inflammation.
  2. Gradual and pain-free restoration of spinal function.
  3. Safe application for patients with specific surgical histories.
