"Back surgery finally!" you exclaim, hoping that the spinal surgeon will be your rescuer from pain. Your fight with back pain seemed never-ending prior to the back surgery. Now, after back surgery, you discover that back pain has recurred, or it's moved. Rely on chiropractic for help, and in Nashua Moriarty Chiropractic is the chiropractic practice to call.

Pain after Back Surgery

Nashua back surgery patients who continue to experience pain after back surgery may discover that...

• vertebrae above and below the operated spinal level now cause pain, especially if they were degenerated before the back surgery. (2) Consider the L4 disc. It now has to do its own work PLUS the work of L5. It wears out. If it was a bit worn out before the back surgery, it wears out even faster after.
  • Moriarty Chiropractic treats each segment individually with Cox Technic for the best possible results.
• suffer from poor low back muscle tone. Low back muscles are smaller, weaker and fattier than those patients who don't have pain. (3)
  • Exercise focusing on these muscles is important, and Moriarty Chiropractic knows the proper exercises.
• their sacroiliac joints may now hurt (4). These may even be the most likely site of pain after spinal fusion surgery. (5)
  • Nashua chiropractic care for the SIJ is gentle and effective.
• internal disc disruption, zygapophysial joint pain and soft tissue irritation from the fusion hardware are the culprits. (5)

Failed back surgery is not an irregular occurrence. Half of back surgery patients still have the same pain one year post-surgery (6). With 1,175,000 in-patient back surgeries a year in the U.S. (7), pain after back surgery is a factor, even in Nashua. Moriarty Chiropractic is here to evaluate and help, working with you, your pain physician, your spinal surgeon, and your family. We all want you to enjoy life again with limited or no pain.
