Exercise and back pain: what a pair!
New Roads Chiropractic Center personalizes the most
appropriate back pain exercises for each New Roads back pain
sufferer visiting New Roads Chiropractic Center to relieve pain
best, boost the supporting muscles like the erector
spinae and multifidus, and recoup function. New Roads Chiropractic Center
also gives every effort to find exercises that are simple,
effective in numerous ways like the “bird dog” movement!
INDIVIDUALIZED EXERCISE BASED ON YOUR
SPINE
Chronic low back pain patients are not created equally. There are numerous factors that contribute
to their back pain status. Each chronic low back pain
sufferer must be evaluated individually as your
New Roads chiropractor always tries to do. It’s a
known fact that back muscle function differs from one chronic
low back pain sufferer to another. Variations
can be found via a thorough examination which New Roads Chiropractic Center is
quite good at! The exam discoveries help create
an individual treatment plan
with individualized exercise recommendations. (1) Be confident that you
will be treated like the individual you are at New Roads Chiropractic Center!
WHICH EXERCISE FOR WHICH MUSCLE?
Exercise is a frequent suggestion
for back pain patients…and with good reason. Muscles support the body
and spine. A review of published papers on the usefulness
of exercise revealed that exercise was likely effective for chronic
low back pain in comparison to no treatment, placebo, advice or
education alone, electrotherapy, or usual care. Its effect was small
for function, but it enhanced pain and functional limitations
outcomes. (2) New Roads Chiropractic Center believes our New Roads
chiropractic patients would be in agreement that benefits of
any type like this for a condition that is said
to be the top cause of disability around
the world for the past three decades or so, costing much in
direct healthcare expense in addition to lost productivity,
are valuable to {{seek with some exercise. Start with one exercise (like the following one!) and build up to the basic 10 for back pain.
ONE SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE EXERCISE: BIRD DOG
Erector spinae and multifidi muscles often weaken with back pain yet are so critical
for stability. Bird-dog (aka quadruped
opposite arm/leg) is a 3-way effective exercise: toning the erector spinae while
strengthening both the core and the
multifidus. Start this by getting on hands and knees, stretching the left leg and right arm out level with the floor. Hold this for a couple seconds and repeat
on the other side. Perform this 10 times on each side. (3,4) Talk with New Roads Chiropractic Center before starting any exercise
though to be sure it’s appropriate for you!
