The Chiropractic Approach
Chiropractic has an excellent record with disc
sufferers, often saving them from bleak prospect of surgery. Chiropractic care is also often effective at helping
those who already have gone through orthopedic surgery.
According to one study of 1,536 lumbar
spinal problem patients who were under chiropractic care, 96.4% had a satisfactory result!!! Surgery was resorted
to in 3.4% of the patients. This study showed two things: one, that chiropractic care is extremely effective with
spinal disc problems and two, that of those who had surgery, the delay in time while they explored chiropractic
care did not cause them any harm.
What if You Had Surgery?
But what if the person has already had spinal surgery, you
ask? According to S. Normal Shealy, M.D. of the University of Minnesota Pain and Rehabilitation Center, less than
one in ten of the lumbar disc surgeries performed in this country (USA) are warranted. He further states that if
one such surgery is ineffective, a second, third, or more will not improve the situation.
And yes, it is possible for a
chiropractor to adjust someone's spinal column if they've had surgery. Although the surgery may have permanently
altered some of the spine, it is still not too late for chiropractic care. The chiropractor won't be able to undo
the surgery, but can often help relieve the pain (and frustration) of Failed Back Surgery Syndrome and may prevent
the need for future operations.
Prevention
The best results for chiropractic care are the ones
you never hear about— the health problems that we prevented from getting worse
because of prompt action.
Clearly, before your spine starts complaining to
you, it is wise to get a simple chiropractic spinal check-up. You get your eyes, your hearing, your blood pressure
checked, why not your spine?
Can A Person Do a Chiropractic Adjustment on
Himself?
Every Chiropractor has, at one time or another
encountered someone who would actually brag how easy it is to "crack" themselves. Some even demonstrate various
positions that cause "popping" sounds to mimic the sound that a chiropractic adjustment often produces.
Little do these people know that a simple
"popping" sound is never the same as "correcting a subluxation". This
self-adjustment could often even lead to more subluxations, more "popping" in other parts of the spine, and more
pain in the long run.

chiropractic adjustments: wish that we could say as much for surgical
operations."
