CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise + Manual Therapy/Spinal Manipulation for Chronic Low Back Pain
If you've been in for chronic low back pain care, you've felt the benefits of manual therapy and spinal manipulation firsthand — but combining them with exercise can amplify your relief. A recent network meta-analysis compared therapeutic exercise and manual therapy techniques head-to-head and confirmed that combining approaches leads to better outcomes for self-reported disability in chronic low back pain. (5) Similarly, a new study protocol is examining manual therapy paired with core muscle training specifically for sedentary individuals with chronic low back pain — because let's face it, most of us could use a little extra core strength when we're deskbound all day. (6) Given how well exercise and manual therapy continue to work together, here's a fun twist to consider: Pilates! Recent research on a machine-based Pilates program found real improvements in quality of life and low back pain among older adults, along with sincerely positive feedback from participants. (7) So next time you're in for an adjustment, ask us about simple exercises — or maybe even Pilates — you can add to your everyday routine around Auburn. Your spine (and your core) will thank you!
