Chiropractic Care for Pre- and Post-Surgery Rehabilitation

HomeBlogChiropractic Care for Pre- and Post-Surgery Rehabilitation

If you suffer from musculoskeletal issues such as knee, hip, or shoulder problems, surgery may be in the cards for your treatment. However, your treatment does not end simply after the surgery. There is also a period of time before and after the surgery in which you must work to prepare and rehabilitate your body.

Chiropractic Care for Pre- and Post-Surgery Rehabilitation

This is where chiropractic care comes in. Chiropractors help in pre- and post-surgical needs by providing treatment plans to help solve problems such as pain, inflammation, reduced range of motion, decreased strength, and more. It is with chiropractic care that a person may experience more success (in the form of a more healed body) after their surgery.

Experts say that incorporating strength programs into the pre-surgery preparation helps the body prepare for the upcoming procedure. Strengthening programs help to decrease inflammation and help the body recover afterward. Going through the motions of a strengthening program also helps the mind set itself up for a positive outcome, thereby leading the patient toward a more successful outcome.

In terms of post-surgical rehabilitation, chiropractic care works to (and succeeds in):

  • Strengthening weakened muscles
  • Increasing range of motion and flexibility
  • Improving posture, coordination, and balance

Chiropractic care is often paired with massage therapy, home exercise instructions, and self-care training, if necessary.
