About St Peters Chiropractic and St Peters Persistent Post Surgical Mid-Back Pain
pain that persists or returns in the same or adjacent area following thoracic spine (mid-back) surgery
(aka failed back surgical syndrome)
Surgery done for a thoracic spine/mid-back condition may be as simple as removal of stray material in the spinal canal or spinal fusion of a couple vertebra or more advanced with the insertion of bolts and plates or rods or disc replacement "cages". Whatever is done surgically will be worked around to attempt to relieve your existing pain conservatively, gently and safely.
Surgical intervention for mid-back pain often leaves the discs adjacent to the surgical area hypermobile (overly movable) and lead to degeneration or herniation.
A thorough, clinical examination that may include imaging is important to your recovery from post-surgical pain.
In office, Old Mill Chiropractic uses chiropractic Cox Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression to widen the canal space, drop the intradiscal pressure and increase the disc height to relieve pain.
You will welcome the Cox Technic manipulation that gently "pulls you apart," as many patients describe the treatment or say they need.
In office adjunctive care may hasten your recovery.
At home, Old Mill Chiropractic may recommend hot/cold therapy, exercise or modification of your sleeping or working environment.You will want to work closely with us at Old Mill Chiropractic to ensure your treatment is properly administered and your return to maximum health is maximized.
