Can a Chiropractor treat someone after back surgery?
Absolutely! Not only is it possible for your Chiropractor to treat you after surgery, it is recommended in most cases. Surgery traumatically alters the natural structures of the body. Like other forms of trauma, the typical process is for scar tissue to develop, biomechanics to be altered, and supportive tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons and cartilage) to become compromised. Chiropractic care helps to maintain the highest degree of function in the tissues and joints surrounding the surgical site. Although the body needs time to heal after surgery, visiting a Chiropractor regularly may help to prevent future problems from developing.
