Carrolltown Exercise Helps with Back Pain Relief and Strength
“Doc, what kind of exercise do you think would help?”
“The kind that you will do!”
There is some humor in that answer, but there is some truth in it, too. Exercise that you’ll do is the most useful exercise of all! Whether you suffer with Carrolltown neck pain or Carrolltown back pain, strengthening exercise helps. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is here to help you figure out what exercise you will do and exercise that will benefit you.
STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING EXERCISE HELPS
General strength and conditioning exercise helps chronic low back pain patients, especially in terms of pain intensity relief. Comparing general strength and conditioning exercise to motor control exercise with manual therapy revealed that the general exercise tended to deliver a more varied range of treatment effects. In particular, the general exercise improved trunk endurance, leg muscle strength and endurance, disability, multifidus muscle volume, and fear of moving in patients with chronic low back pain. (1) A Cochrane Review of published medical literature showed that motor control exercise is more successful in reducing chronic low back pain than minimal intervention, but, alone, motor control exercise doesn’t show itself to be healthier than other exercise or manual therapy for pain relief. (2) What does this mean? General strength and conditioning exercise is beneficial to decrease pain by improving the overall body condition. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation helps Carrolltown back pain patients set up an exercise routine that works for them to maximize pain reduction and improve strength.
EXERCISE AND MANIPULATION
Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation also works to get the most back pain reduction and strength improvement by blending exercise with chiropractic treatment. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation uses The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to enrich these clinical outcomes. A new report states that combining manipulative treatment with exercise reduced pain and improved functional disability more than exercise by itself for non-specific neck pain sufferers. (3) Together, your Carrolltown chiropractor and you will determine the best suited exercises and the appropriate exercise routine to complement your Carrolltown chiropractic treatment plan to get you feeling the best you can!
