Exercise and back pain: what a pair!
Wilson Family Chiropractic personalizes the suitable back pain exercises for each Millville back pain
sufferer visiting Wilson Family Chiropractic to maximize back pain relief, strengthen the supporting muscles like the erector
spinae and multifidus, and regain function. Wilson Family Chiropractic
also gives every effort to find exercises that are easy,
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 many factors that contribute
to their back pain state. Each chronic low back pain
sufferer must be evaluated individually as your
Millville chiropractor always tries to do. It’s a
known fact that back muscle function differs from a chronic
low back pain sufferer to another. Differences
can be found via a thorough examination which Wilson Family Chiropractic is
quite good at! The exam discoveries help mold
a personalized treatment plan with personalized exercise recommendations. (1) Know with confidence that you are
an individual at Wilson Family Chiropractic!
WHICH EXERCISE FOR WHICH MUSCLE?
Exercise is a frequent prescription
for back pain patients…and for good reason. Muscles support the body
and spine. A review of published research on the effectiveness
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 improved pain and functional limitations
outcomes. (2) Wilson Family Chiropractic believes our Millville
chiropractic patients would concur that benefits of
any sort 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 {{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 weaken with back pain, but they are so critical
for stability. Bird-dog (aka quadruped
opposite arm/leg) is a 3-way effective exercise: toning the erector spinae while
strengthening the multifidus and the core as well. Start this by getting on all fours: knees and
hands, stretching the left leg and right arm out parallel
to the floor. Hold the position for a couple seconds and repeat
on the other side. Perform this 10 times on each side. (3,4) Have a
