In this excerpt from his YouTube video, Jeff Langmaid points out that very few clinicians discuss the need for post‑surgical, especially post‑spinal‑fusion, patients to receive a formal chiropractic evaluation once they have been cleared by their surgeon. He argues that, because the spine’s biomechanics are altered after fusion, a consistent chiropractic assessment—and potentially ongoing care—should be a standard part of recovery. Langmaid also hints that there are additional, non‑chiropractic interventions that can further support these patients, though he does not detail them in this segment.

I've seen almost nobody tell the story that post-surgery patients, post-fusion patients, after cleared by their surgeon, should absolutely go in and at least be evaluated by a chiropractor at a consistent level, if not receive some ongoing care, just because the biomechanics— this is not a stretch, this is like just straight biomechanics, if nothing else. And there's a lot more that we can do as well.
