Many people have had spinal surgery after suffering from chronic or extreme lower back pain due to disc herniation, disc degeneration, a slipped disc, or a fracture. At Family Chiropractic Center, we also recommend chiropractic adjustments in Coral Springs, FL as part of the rehabilitation process after spinal surgery.

Chiropractic adjustments are a gentle, safe way to reduce pain and improve your health after spinal surgery.  Regular adjustments can reduce pain and inflammation, aid in recovery, and improve circulation, mobility, and range of motion.

Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustments After Spinal Surgery

Opting for chiropractic adjustments in Coral Springs, FL, after undergoing spinal surgery can improve your rehabilitation, and relieve stress and anxiety associated with surgery. Here are some of the other benefits of visiting Family Chiropractic Center for an adjustment after spinal surgery:

  • Decrease in pain
  • Improved range of motion and mobility
  • Improved stability at surgery site
  • Strength training
  • Improved circulation and blood flow
  • Reduction in stress and stress-related symptoms
  • Improved sleep and appetite
  • Improvement in overall mood and outlook post-surgery

How Long Should I Wait After Spinal Surgery?

It will ultimately be up to your doctor or chiropractor to determine how soon you can have a chiropractic adjustment after undergoing spinal surgery. It will also depend upon your overall health and the type of spinal surgery you had. For instance, after a spinal fusion surgery, it is best to wait at least three months to allow the vertebrae to fuse and heal before having a chiropractic adjustment.
