Exercise and back pain: what a pair!
Minster Chiropractic Center personalizes the suitable back pain exercises for each Minster back pain
sufferer visiting Minster Chiropractic Center to relieve pain
best, strengthen the supporting muscles like the erector
spinae and multifidus, and recoup function. Minster Chiropractic Center
also tries to find exercises that are easy,
effective in a variety of ways like the “bird dog” movement!
INDIVIDUALIZED EXERCISE BASED ON YOUR
SPINE
Chronic low back pain patients are not created equally. There are many factors that contribute
to their back pain status. Each chronic low back pain
sufferer must be evaluated individually as your
Minster chiropractor strives to do. It’s a
known fact that back muscle function varies from one chronic
low back pain sufferer to another. Differences
can be found from a thorough examination which Minster Chiropractic Center does quite well. The exam discoveries help create
a personalized treatment plan with personalized exercise recommendations. (1) Be confident that you
will be treated like the individual you are at Minster Chiropractic Center!
WHICH EXERCISE FOR WHICH MUSCLE?
Exercise is a regular suggestion
for back pain patients…and for good reason. Muscles support the body
and spine. A review of published research on the usefulness
of exercise revealed that exercise was likely effective for chronic
low back pain compared to no treatment, placebo, advice or
education alone, electrotherapy, or usual care. Its effect was limited
for function, but it enhanced pain and functional limitations
outcomes. (2) Minster Chiropractic Center thinks our Minster
chiropractic patients would agree that benefits of
any sort like this for a condition that is reportedly the leading cause of disability globally for the past three decades or so, costing much in
direct healthcare expense as well as lost productivity,
are valuable to {{pursue with a
little 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 grow
weak with back pain yet are so essential
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 the position for a couple seconds and repeat
on the other side. Perform this 10 times on each side. (3,4) Talk with Minster Chiropractic Center before beginning any exercise
though to be sure it’s the right one for you!
