Exercise Enhances Chiropractic Back Pain Relief Plan

Exercise is good and beneficial. Exercise is integral to the chiropractic care plan for spine pain issues of types. Patients get to be a part of their own care and healing when they do their exercises. Chiropractic Care incorporates exercise into the chiropractic treatment plan for all our West Palm Beach patients to get them back to enjoying the quality of life they want.

Lax muscles reduce motion in low back pain patients. Chiropractic Care knows this isn’t good for our West Palm Beach 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! Patients who did just 2 days of muscle strengthening a week lowered the risk for 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.  Recommendation: Don’t smoke!) (2) Chiropractic Care presents 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 influencing the pain perception by improving your pain threshold and reducing your pain intensity. (3) Such exercises aren’t hard; they’re just effective! Chiropractic Care will who you how to do them so you can attain the most possible back pain relief. Chiropractic Care is with you, our West Palm Beach 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 working with chronic nonspecific low back pain. These two approaches are recommended over many other types of care. (4) Cox Technic, an evidence based system of spine care, is spinal manipulation that Chiropractic Care chooses to use.

Adding back school to the chiropractic treatment plan enriches the positives of back pain rehabilitation. How? Back school fosters self-management, gives control back to the patient to take care of him/herself. (5) Chiropractic Care strives to educate our back pain patients as to how and why their backs hurt and how to preclude or at least diminish the chances of future occurrences. One study of just how well back school is received by back pain patients is a study of those who attended a back school at a chiropractor’s office. Back pain patients stated 95% satisfaction with taking time to attend, and 100% said it was worth the doctor’s time to share the material.
