A visit to the chiropractor can be an important part of recovery after surgery. It can help alleviate pain and shorten your overall recovery time.
When it comes to swelling after breast surgery, a lot of the swelling you will experience is going to dissipate after the first three weeks, with the majority being gone within six weeks. Electrical Stimulation is used after surgery to reduce pain, swelling, bruising and promote healing by sending impulses through the skin to stimulate the nerves of the upper and lower extremities.

When you receive chiropractic adjustments after breast augmentation surgery, you can potentially minimize pain throughout your body. During spinal manipulations conducted by our doctors, your body naturally releases pain-relieving hormones. A study conducted by The University of Spain showed that levels of oxytocin, neurotensin and cortisol in the blood stream increased in test subjects after spinal manipulation. Our doctors use a gentle tool called the Activator to adjust the spine, it mimics the effects of a manual spinal adjustment. We use the device because it's more comfortable post-surgery and it is a more precise way of manipulating the spine. Due to the speed of the instrument, muscles are less likely to tense during treatment.
When you are laying down for a longer period than normal after surgery, your neck or back can lose flexibility. Loss of flexibility can be due to misalignment of the joints in the spine, development of scar tissue and/or inflammation. A chiropractic adjustment can restore range of motion by mobilizing your spine and returning the joints to proper alignment.
It is normal for scar tissue to develop after surgery. When muscles or tendons are damaged, the body attempts to heal them by forming scar tissue from collagen. Unfortunately, scar tissue can cause long-term pain and stiffness. In many cases, the tissue will heal on its own and eventually function like normal tissue. However, if it is causing you discomfort, a chiropractor can use specific techniques to break the scar tissue up so the area can heal faster
The best massage modality after breast surgery is lymphatic drainage massage. The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in immunity and the recovery process. The pain, edema, tight skin and bruising following breast surgery are all direct trauma to the body. The injuries cased by invasive surgery disrupt the lymph's drainage process, leading to a bacteria buildup in the body. Through lymphatic drainage massage, the body is able to recover faster and release the congested lymph flow.
Chiro2me doctors use a variety of tools and techniques to realign individual vertebrae and restore joint flexibility after breast augmentation surgery. Benefits of spinal manipulation and other services offered by Chiro2me doctors include decreased inflammation and pain, restored range of motion and reduced scar tissue.
Surgery sometimes creates a new set of problems. Although the initial pain or condition is no longer present, you can end up with new aches and pains you didn’t have before surgery.
That’s because any time an incision is made – whether orthoscopic or a larger incision – scar tissue will form, and changes to how your body moves will ensue. Scar tissue often causes a decrease in motion and movement in the area. Your body compensates with altered mechanics to make up for this.
Chiropractors are trained in soft-tissue mobilization techniques that can help decrease scar tissue build-up or help to remodel soft tissue in the area. They can also recommend therapeutic exercises to help re-teach the body to function properly.
The Activator Method is one of the most widely researched chiropractic techniques and the only instrument adjusting technique with clinical trials to support its efficacy. The Activator Method Chiropractic Technique uses a spring-loaded, hand-held mechanical instrument called the Activator Adjusting Instrument. This instrument allows chiropractors to provide a quick, low-force impulse at specific points. There are two theoretical advantages of an activator instrument-assisted treatment:
High speed. The instrument is so quick that the body's muscles are less likely to tense in response, and resist the treatment. The lack of muscle resistance may facilitate the treatment’s effectiveness.
Controlled force. The applied force is localized and does not put the joint in any compromised positions, such as bending or twisting.
