Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation also gives every effort to find exercises that are simple, effective in a variety of ways like the “bird dog” movement!
PERSONALIZED EXERCISE BASED ON YOUR SPINE
Chronic low back pain patients are not all made in the same way. There are many factors that contribute to their back pain state. Each chronic low back pain sufferer must be considered individually as your Carrolltown chiropractor always tries to do. It’s a known fact that back muscle function differs from a chronic low back pain sufferer to another. Variations can be found from a thorough examination which Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is quite good at! The exam discoveries help mold a personalized treatment plan with personalized exercise recommendations. (1) Know with confidence that you are an individual at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation!
WHICH EXERCISE FOR WHICH MUSCLE?
Exercise is a common recommendation for back pain patients…and with good reason. Muscles support the body and spine. A review of published papers on the effectiveness of exercise revealed that exercise was likely effective for chronic low back pain compared to no treatment, placebo, advice or education alone, electrotherapy, or usual care. Its effect was limited for function, but it improved pain and functional limitations outcomes. (2) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation thinks our Carrolltown chiropractic patients would concur that benefits of any type like this for a condition that is reportedly the top cause of disability globally 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 grow weak with back pain, but they are so important for stability. Bird-dog (aka quadruped opposite arm/leg) is a 3-way effective exercise: toning the erector spinae while strengthening both the core and the multifidus. Start this by starting on all fours: knees and hands, stretching the left leg and right arm out level with the floor. Hold the position for a couple seconds and repeat on the other side. Perform this 10 times on each side. (3,4) Talk with Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation before beginning any exercise though to be sure it’s the right one for you!
