Exercise for back pain: a common recommendation with good reason. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic personalizes the most appropriate back pain exercises for each Fort Wayne back pain sufferer visiting Aaron Chiropractic Clinic to maximize back pain relief, strengthen the supporting muscles like the erector spinae and multifidus, and recoup function. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic also gives every effort to find exercises that are simple, effective in multiple ways like the “bird dog” move!
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 status. Each chronic low back pain sufferer must be evaluated individually as your Fort Wayne chiropractor always tries to do. It’s a known fact that back muscle function varies from one chronic low back pain sufferer to another. Variations can be found from a thorough examination which Aaron Chiropractic Clinic does quite well. The exam discoveries help shape an individual treatment plan with individualized exercise recommendations. (1) Be confident that you will be treated like the individual you are at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic!
WHICH EXERCISE FOR WHICH MUSCLE?
Exercise is a frequent recommendation for back pain patients…and with good reason. Muscles support the body and spine. A review of published papers on the usefulness of exercise revealed 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 effect was limited for function, but it enhanced pain and functional limitations outcomes. (2) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic believes our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients would concur that benefits of any type like this for a condition that is reported to be the top 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 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 weaken with back pain yet are so valuable for stability. Bird-dog (aka quadruped opposite arm/leg) is a 3-way effective exercise: toning the erector spinae while strengthening the multifidus and the core as well. Start this by getting on hands and knees, stretching the left leg and right arm out parallel to the floor. Hold the position for a couple seconds and repeat on the other side. Perform this 10 times on each side. (3,4) Have a chat with Aaron Chiropractic Clinic before beginning any exercise though to be sure it’s the right one for you!
