Spinal Fusion: Just the Facts

Dr. Chris  Asks some important questions of interest to Anacortes residents - Chiropractor Anacortes Dr. Chris Asks...

Can someone who has had back surgery receive chiropractic care?
Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. However, what we find is that surgical interventions will often produce spinal instability above or below the involved level. This is will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
What happens if you stop chiropractic care when you feel better?
Many Anacortes folks recognize that this predisposes you to a relapse. Chiropractors know that muscles and ligaments supporting the spine don't fully heal until after symptoms subside.
