Is It safe to see a chiropractor after neck, back, or joint surgery ? (Answered)

We hear this question often, “Is It safe to see a chiropractor after neck, back, or joint surgery ?” To answer this question there are a few variables. First how long ago was the surgery ? Are your issues coming from that specific surgical site ? The type of surgery that was done ? For example a lumbar discectomy after healing can be treated with manual therapy. A lumbar fusion one would have to be treated above or below the surgical sight after full healing has completed. Hip and shoulder replacements are another post surgical area we work with often. Again after proper healing time there are ways to treat to alleviate pain, increase function, and increase range of motion. We often have great results with post surgical patients but a consultation and evaluation is needed to assess if your chiropractor can help with said condition. At Lake Hamilton Family and Sports Chiropractic we will evaluate to see if we are the right place for you to find the relief and treatment you deserve! If we can’t help we will refer.
