Effective Auburn Back Pain Exercise: Bird Dog
Exercise and back pain: what a pair! Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. personalizes 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 recoup function. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. also tries to find exercises that are easy, effective in multiple 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 status. Each chronic low back pain sufferer must be considered individually as your Auburn chiropractor strives to do. It’s a known fact that back muscle function differs from one chronic low back pain sufferer to another. Differences can be found via a thorough examination which Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is quite good at! The exam discoveries help mold 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 suggestion 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 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) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. believes our Auburn chiropractic patients would agree that benefits of any type like this for a condition that is reported to be the top cause of disability globally for the past three decades or so, costing a lot in direct healthcare expense as well as lost productivity, are worth seeking 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 critical for stability. Bird-dog (aka quadruped opposite arm/leg) is a 3-way effective exercise: toning the erector spinae and strengthening the multifidus and the core as well. Start this by starting on all fours: knees and hands, 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. Do this 10 times on each side. (3,4) Talk with Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. before starting any exercise though to be sure it’s appropriate for you!
