Post Surgery Chiropractor
Can I see a Chiropractor after I have back surgery?
The answer for most patients is yes. Initially after surgery you probably won’t be up for much activity. After a few weeks you surgeon will likely prescribe physical therapy and sometimes they may send you to a chiropractor. Most back surgeries are on the lower back or neck. There is a whole lot of your spine that needs care.
Post-surgery you may benefit with the following:
Relaxing muscles
Pain Management
Increasing strength
Increasing pain free range of motion
Pain management
Reducing the need for opioids
Many patients years after back surgery report pain
returning. Often Chiropractic care will help with this as well. Now mind you
