Summary

Continued spinal pain following spine surgery is reported in up to 50% of patients. Disability and pain following spine surgery occurs. Repeat back surgery outcomes on Workers Compensation low back patients demonstrated larger number of patients did not come back to work. Such continued pain has biopsychosocial health relationships between the physical and the psychological and social factors that are associated with back pain and disability. Chiropractic consultation by post surgical continued pain (PSCP) patients occurs but the frequency, clinical treatment and outcomes of chiropractic treatment are not sufficiently documented. Conditions reported in continued pscp patients seeking care following spinal fusion are reported as sacroiliac joint pain, internal disc disruption, and zygapohyseal joint pain. Sacroiliac joint pain is more common after fusion, while internal disc disruption is more common in nonfusion patients. Very few studies are available on the outcomes of PSCP patients seen by chiropractic. This study proposes to investigate the clinical outcomes of PSCP patients presenting with pain in lumbar, thoracic, and cervical regions and had prior surgery in the respective regions, seeking care from field Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) certified in Cox flexion distraction decompression procedures.
