Augusta Back Pain Relief Helped by Exercise
Back pain - nonspecific or chronic or subacute – can be helped with exercise. Our Augusta back pain patients realize from day 1 that they can exercise safely and gently. We show how to do simple, helpful ones that will help you feel some control over your condition. Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic is your Augusta exercise coach as well as your spinal manipulation chiropractor: the best of both worlds!
EXERCISE EFFICACY FOR LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain patients get results with therapeutic exercise in strengthening trunk muscles and increasing spine stability. There is a variety of 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 showed that they were 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 reported core stabilization exercise to reduce pain, improve function, and boost core strength in nonspecific low back pain patients. (2) Spine stabilization exercises and flexion exercises done24 daily equally helped multifidus muscle thickness in patients with chronic low back pain and spondylolisthesis . (3) Advice: Pick one that you like 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 that may frustrate you (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 good for training back pain patients to correctly do the more complex motor control exercises. (4) Core exercises along with hip muscle strengthening effectively enhanced physical activity and function for nonspecific low back pain patients. (5) Augusta back pain patients desiring some pain relief are urged to exercise as part of their overall chiropractic treatment plan.
EXERCISE WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION
Combining efforts proposes even more hope for back pain patients despite the 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 recovery. (6) In caring for back pain in patients who have undergone back surgery (laminectomy, fusion, discectomy) like the above patient did, clinicians using spinal manipulation are inclined to using gentler non-manual-thrust spinal manipulation while chiropractors tended to use manual thrust. Spinal manipulation was used less than a year after back surgery in 66% of cases in this study. Treating healthcare providers used spinal manipulation with 85% of patients who had persistent back pain after spine surgery.
