Exercise is good and beneficial. It goes hand-in-hand with chiropractic care of spine pain conditions of all sorts. Exercise also allows the patient to take control of their pain relief. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic knows our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients just want to get back to doing what they want to do, what they used to do.
Lax muscles reduce motion in low back pain patients. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic knows this isn’t good for our Fort Wayne back pain patients! What makes these muscles weak? Fat. With back pain comes more fat infiltration into the back muscles, muscles like the lumbar multifidus muscles which greatly influence the range of motion in lumbar spine. Fattier multifidi, less lumbar flexion. (1)
One article shares that doing a little exercise does a lot! Muscle strengthening activity done just two days a week reduces the odds of low back pain. (And this article, as a side note, suggests that smoking is also an influential factor in the equation of whether you get back pain or not. It’s best not to smoke.) (2) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic offers simple exercises you can do in just a few minutes from the comfort of your own bedroom if you like! You’ll notice the difference these make!
Chronic nonspecific low back pain sufferers gain from exercises like the lumbopelvic core stabilization exercises by positively affecting the pain perception by improving your pain threshold and dropping your pain intensity. (3) These exercises are not difficult, but they do work. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic will who you how to do them so you can attain the most possible back pain relief. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is with you, our Fort Wayne back pain patient, throughout your whole course of healing with as much support as you need.
Back school is another such support. Back school and manipulation/mobilization are standards of care for handling chronic nonspecific low back pain. These two approaches are suggested over many other approaches. (4) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic uses spinal manipulation in the form of Cox Technic, a chiropractic evidence based system of spine care.
The addition of back school to the chiropractic treatment plan enhances the good outcomes of back pain rehabilitation. How? Back school fosters self-management, gives control back to the patient to take care of him/herself. (5) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic strives to educate our back pain patients as to how and why their backs hurt and how to avoid or at least diminish the chances of future occurrences. A survey of patients who attended a back school in a chiropractor’s office showed 95% satisfaction with having attended the course and 100% support of the doctor’s providing it.
