EXERCISE EFFICACY FOR LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain patients do well 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 one study of subacute nonspecific low back pain sufferers, core stabilization exercises showed that they were better than stabilization exercises regarding proprioception, balance, muscle (transverse abdoiminis, lumbar multifidus) thickness, reducing patients’ fear of movement, and functional disability. (1) Another study stated core stabilization exercise to decrease pain, improve function, and increase core strength in nonspecific low back pain patients. (2) Spine stabilization exercises and flexion exercises performed24 daily both increased multifidus muscle thickness in patients with chronic low back pain and spondylolisthesis . (3) Advice: Choose one that you are most likely to do (after we discuss it!)! Your back pain will appreciate it.
EXERCISE FOR NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Despite a diagnosis of non-specific low back pain being frustrating (We all want to understand what lies below our pain!), exercise offers hope of its management. A recent study found that exercise training in-person and via multimedia/video were effective in training back pain patients to correctly do the more complex motor control exercises. (4) Core exercises with the addition of hip muscle strengthening effectively enhanced physical activity and function for nonspecific low back pain patients. (5) Fort Wayne back pain patients seeking some pain relief are urged to do exercises 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 rehab exercise (in this case: bird dog and core stabilization) found relief and improvement. (6) In caring for back pain in patients who have already had 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 delivered spinal manipulation with 85% of patients who experienced persistent back pain after spine surgery.
