Walking is vital for Millville living. How often do you think about walking? How often are you thankful for the ability to put one foot in front of the other? Most Millville folks don’t give walking a second thought until we or a Millville loved one can’t do it or isn’t able do it as easily as we once did. Chronic non-specific low back pain tends to disrupt Millville back pain patients’ motor control when trying to walk normally. It’s thought that the erector spinae are working intensely in these patients, resulting in a stiff lumbar-pelvic region and tougher time walking.
