Now, let us look at exercise to not only stabilize YOU and your fellow Auburn chiropractic patients during times of stress as COVID-19 may triggering, but exercise to stabilize your spine while and following your Auburn back pain episodes.

STABILITY AND BALANCE AND BACK PAIN

Stability and balance go together. Stability alludes to how balance is controlled. Inhibited balance control is connected with decreased stability. Balance or rather a loss of balance or the sense of stability is often observed in or reported by musculoskeletal pain patients who experience back pain and neck pain. Therefore, Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. observes each chiropractic patient carefully during their whole visit door to door. Observation is a valuable tool in the management of back pain and related leg pain, Auburn neck pain and any related arm pain. Researchers examined this topic of balance and its disruption, too. Recent studies reported on patients’ gait speed, their “timed up and go test” ability, step test and “sit-to-stand test.” Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. likes these tests. Some of our Auburn chiropractic patients will be curious about what we’re examining when we have them sit in a chair and stand up from the chair and note how long it takes them to do it! We chiropractors are a curious group! Trials like these reveal to your Auburn chiropractor a lot about your spinal condition. A recent analysis of such studies stated that manual therapy like spinal manipulation offered at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. enhanced short-term stability measures. (1) Be confident more studies like these are underway, and one explicitly examining how Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction influences these tests and ultimately the balance and stability of back pain patients is underway.

BALANCE AND FALLS

Many trials have already demonstrated that many chronic musculoskeletal pain patients experience falls and have balance issues. That is a big problem for older patients with such musculoskeletal pain as they manytimes also have stiffer, less coordinated gait, and poorer balance and muscle strength. (1) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. urges our patients to exercise for balance and stability.

EXERCISE FOR STABILITY AND BALANCE

The lumbar spine multifidus muscle is a recognized and very vital stabilizer for the spine. Soccer players know this! Researchers studied their multifidus muscles throughout soccer season. At rest while lying down, these players’ multifidus muscle thickness diminished. Those players with low back pain exhibited significant change at rest. (2) Australian football players with low back pain were to have the same issue while standing and at rest. (3) Both studies said that body composition and body fat and mass were associated with the lumbar multifidus muscle size. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. has some exercise recommendations for our Auburn back pain patients to strengthen their multifidus muscles and increase their sense of balance and stability. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is ready to share them with you at your Auburn chiropractic appointment!
