PERSONALIZED 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 Williamson chiropractor strives to do. It’s a known fact that back muscle function varies from a chronic low back pain sufferer to another. Distinctions can be found via a thorough examination which Apple Country Chiropractic is quite good at! The exam discoveries help create a personalized treatment plan with personalized exercise recommendations. (1) Be confident that you will be treated like the individual you are at Apple Country Chiropractic!
WHICH EXERCISE FOR WHICH MUSCLE?
Exercise is a frequent prescription for back pain patients…and with 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 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) Apple Country Chiropractic believes our Williamson 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 in addition to lost productivity, are valuable to seek 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 important 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 hands and knees, 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. Perform this 10 times on each side. (3,4) Talk with Apple Country Chiropractic before beginning any exercise though to be sure it’s the right one for you!
