More than 300,000 patients undergo lumbar discectomy each year, with a reported lumbar discectomy reoperation rate of 6-12%, and having a lower success rate than the original surgery.
Does post-surgery chiropractic care reduce potential reoperation risks?
More than 300,000 patients undergo lumbar discectomy each year, with a reported lumbar discectomy reoperation rate of 6-12%, and having a lower success rate than the original surgery.
A recent study found that adults receiving chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy for lumbosacral radiculopathy at least one year after lumbar discectomy were less likely to undergo lumbar spine reoperation compared to those receiving usual care without chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy, and the results continued over two years follow-up.
Healthcare continues evolving to less-invasive, natural, and drug-free methods, placing chiropractic care as a first-line care choice.
