Can a person who had back or neck surgeries see a chiropractor?
Yes. It’s an unfortunate fact that up to half of those people who have spinal surgery discover a return of their original symptoms months or years later. It is also very common that years after a spinal surgery, the area above or below degenerates. They then face the prospect of additional surgery. This all too common occurrence is known as “Failed Back Surgery Syndrome.” Chiropractic may help prevent repeated back or neck surgeries. In fact, if chiropractic care is initially utilized back or neck surgery can often be avoided in the first place.
