EXERCISE EFFICACY FOR LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain patients get results with therapeutic exercise in strengthening trunk muscles and increasing spine stability. There are many exercise options obtainable from core stabilization and strengthening to motor control exercises and muscle strengthening. In a study of subacute nonspecific low back pain sufferers, core stabilization exercises showed that they were better than stabilization exercises in terms of proprioception, balance, muscle (transverse abdoiminis, lumbar multifidus) thickness, decreasing patients’ fear of movement, and functional disability. (1) Another study reported core stabilization exercise to reduce pain, enhance function, and boost core strength in nonspecific low back pain patients. (2) Spine stabilization exercises and flexion exercises done24 daily equally benefited multifidus muscle thickness in patients with chronic low back pain and spondylolisthesis . (3) Advice: Pick one that you like to do (after we discuss it!)! Your back pain will thank you.
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 good for training back pain patients to appropriately do the more complex motor control exercises. (4) Core exercises along with hip muscle strengthening effectively enhanced physical activity and function for nonspecific low back pain patients. (5) Carrolltown back pain patients wanting some pain relief are encouraged to exercise as part of their overall chiropractic treatment plan.
EXERCISE WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION
Combining efforts offers 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) got relief and improvement. (6) Managing back pain in patients who have undergone back surgery (laminectomy, fusion, discectomy) like the patient described above did, clinicians using spinal manipulation tend toward using gentler non-manual-thrust spinal manipulation while chiropractors leaned toward using manual thrust. Spinal manipulation was applied less than a year after back surgery in 66% of cases in this study. Treating healthcare providers used spinal manipulation with 85% of patients who experienced persistent back pain after spine surgery.
