Exercise and back pain: what a pair!
Layden Chiropractic personalizes the proper back pain exercises for each Plainville back pain
sufferer visiting Layden Chiropractic to relieve pain
best, boost the supporting muscles like the erector
spinae and multifidus, and recoup function. Layden Chiropractic
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 numerous factors that impact their back pain state. Each chronic low back pain
sufferer must be considered individually as your
Plainville chiropractor strives to do. It’s a
known fact that back muscle function differs from one chronic
low back pain sufferer to another. Variations
can be found via a thorough examination which Layden Chiropractic is
quite good at! The exam discoveries help create
an individual treatment plan
with individualized exercise recommendations. (1) Know with confidence that you are
an individual at Layden Chiropractic!
WHICH EXERCISE FOR WHICH MUSCLE?
Exercise is a regular prescription
for back pain patients…and for 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 in comparison to no treatment, placebo, advice or
education alone, electrotherapy, or usual care. Its impact was limited
for function, but it enhanced pain and functional limitations
outcomes. (2) Layden Chiropractic thinks our Plainville
chiropractic patients would agree that benefits of
any type like this for a condition that is reportedly 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 {{pursue 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 grow
weak with back pain, but they are so valuable
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 getting on all fours: knees and
hands, stretching the left leg and right arm out parallel
to the floor. Hold this for a couple seconds and repeat
on the other side. Perform this 10 times on each side. (3,4) Talk with Layden Chiropractic before starting any exercise
though to be sure it’s the right one for you!
