Post‑Surgery Rehab
Your Comeback Plan, Made Simple
Surgery solves the problem. Rehab makes the solution stick.
At Empower Sports Chiropractic, we’ll help you return to real life and sport, safely and confidently. You’ll get a clear, step-by-step plan that follows your surgeon’s protocol and meets you where you are: calm pain, restore motion, rebuild strength, then return to performance.
Your Rehab Plan (Simple, Step‑by‑step)
Our approach is simple and evidence‑based: do the right things, at the right time, for your specific surgery and body.
Calm Pain & Restore Motion
Gentle joint work (we prefer flexion distraction for the spine), soft‑tissue treatment like Active Release Technique (ART) and Graston, and targeted dry needling to release overactive spots. The goal is less pain, better range, and fewer guarded movement patterns.
Re‑educate Movement
We’ll retrain how you squat, hinge, reach, press, and step so healing tissue learns to tolerate real‑world motion again. This isn’t a generic band sheet. We’ll build a progressive, customized program for you.
Rebuild Strength & Tissue Capacity
When appropriate, we’ll layer in blood flow restriction (BFR) to drive strength gains with lighter loads, plus corrective exercise that fits your sport or job demands.
Return‑to‑Sport and Beyond
We’ll advance intensity and complexity, then test the movements that matter to you. If you’re dealing with stubborn, chronic tendon pain in an extremity, we may add SoftWave Therapy (Shockwave) later in the process to accelerate tissue remodeling.
Note on spinal decompression: We do not offer decompression. We prefer flexion distraction (up/down) because it aligns better with the research and real-world outcomes we observe. Decompression (expand/retract) can create problems we’d rather avoid.
