Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is your Auburn exercise coach as well as your spinal manipulation chiropractor: the best of both realms!
EXERCISE EFFICACY FOR LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain patients do well with therapeutic exercise in strengthening trunk muscles and enhancing spine stability. There are many exercise options obtainable from core stabilization and strengthening to motor control exercises and muscle strengthening. In a study of subacute nonspecific low back pain sufferers, core stabilization exercises proved better than stabilization exercises in terms of proprioception, balance, muscle (transverse abdoiminis, lumbar multifidus) thickness, decreasing patients’ fear of movement, and functional disability. (1) Another study stated core stabilization exercise to decrease pain, enhance function, and boost core strength in nonspecific low back pain patients. (2) Spine stabilization exercises and flexion exercises done24 daily both increased multifidus muscle thickness in patients with chronic low back pain and spondylolisthesis . (3) Advice: Pick one that you are most likely to do (after we discuss it!)! Your back pain will thank you.
EXERCISE FOR NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Regardless of a diagnosis of non-specific low back pain being frustrating (We all want to understand what lies below our pain!), exercise offers hope of its management. A recent study reported that exercise training in-person and via multimedia/video were effective in training back pain patients to properly do the more complex motor control exercises. (4) Core exercises along with hip muscle strengthening effectively improved physical activity and function for nonspecific low back pain patients. (5) Auburn back pain patients seeking some pain relief are urged to perform exercises as part of their overall chiropractic treatment plan.
EXERCISE WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION
Combining efforts proposes even more hope for back pain patients regardless of diagnosis. One case report of a 24-year-old patient with a recurrent disc herniation and pain after back surgery laminectomy described that flexion distraction spinal manipulation along with rehabilitative exercise (in this case: bird dog and core stabilization) got relief and improvement. (6) In caring for back pain in patients who have already had back surgery (laminectomy, fusion, discectomy) like the patient described above did, clinicians receiving spinal manipulation are inclined to using gentler non-manual-thrust spinal manipulation while chiropractors leaned toward using manual thrust. Spinal manipulation was applied less than 12 months after back surgery in 66% of cases in this study. Treating healthcare providers utilized spinal manipulation with 85% of patients who had persistent back pain after spine surgery.
