What Can I Do Instead Of Back Surgery?

The idea of surgery can be nerve-wracking and it’s important to find out if there are other options. If you’re dealing with back pain, you might feel like surgery is the only way to relieve some of the pain you experience, but there are other ways. Back surgery can lead to a long recovery, so instead of undergoing surgery, it’s important to discuss other options with your chiropractor. Chiropractic care can relieve much of your back pain and might be the option you need to manage your pain without surgery.

Managing Back Pain without Surgery

Back pain can interfere with your everyday life and make it difficult to perform necessary functions. You might find that you have to avoid certain activities because of the pain or that you’re stuck at home because you can’t seem to get comfortable elsewhere.

Instead of immediately turning to surgery, there are chiropractic options. Often, back pain can be treated with a process known as spinal decompression. This treatment helps stretch out pinched and compressed joints to relieve some of the pressure on these nerves and increase the flow of oxygen and fluids to your spinal discs.

Another option for dealing with back pain is the use of laser therapy. You may have the option of either cold laser therapy or warm laser therapy. Cold laser therapy helps to decrease inflammation and pain and help increases your range of motion. MLS laser therapy stimulates heat and also helps to reduce inflammation and pain, as well as reduce swelling. You may want to try multiple options to increase the chance of decreasing your pain and getting your life back!
