Exercise for back
pain: a common recommendation with good reason.
Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. individualizes the proper back pain exercises for each Auburn back pain
sufferer visiting Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. to maximize back pain relief, strengthen the supporting muscles like the erector
spinae and multifidus, and regain function. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C.
also tries 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 all made in the
same way. There are many factors that contribute
to their back pain situation. Each chronic low back pain
sufferer must be considered individually as your
Auburn chiropractor always tries to do. It’s a
known fact that back muscle function differs from a chronic
low back pain sufferer to another. Distinctions
can be found via a thorough examination which Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. does quite well. The exam discoveries help guide
an individual treatment plan
with individualized exercise recommendations. (1) Be confident that you
will be treated like the individual you are at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C.!
WHICH EXERCISE FOR WHICH MUSCLE?
Exercise is a frequent recommendation
for back pain patients…and with good reason. Muscles support the body
and spine. A review of published papers on the usefulness
of exercise found that exercise was likely effective for chronic
low back pain compared to no treatment, placebo, advice or
education alone, electrotherapy, or usual care. Its impact was limited
for function, but it improved pain and functional limitations
outcomes. (2) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. thinks our Auburn
chiropractic patients would concur that benefits of
any type like this for a condition that is said
to be the foremost cause of disability around
the world for the past three decades or so, costing a lot in
direct healthcare expense and lost productivity,
are valuable to {{seek 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 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 starting 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. Do this 10 times on each side. (3,4) Have a
chat with Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. before starting any exercise
though to be sure it’s the right one for you!
