Effective Fernandina Beach Back Pain Exercise: Bird Dog

November 07, 2023

Exercise and back pain: what a pair! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic personalizes the most appropriate back pain exercises for each Fernandina Beach back pain sufferer visiting Amelia Chiropractic Clinic to maximize back pain relief, boost the supporting muscles like the erector spinae and multifidus, and recoup function. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic also gives every effort to find exercises that are easy, effective in numerous ways like the “bird dog” movement!

INDIVIDUALIZED EXERCISE BASED ON YOUR SPINE

Chronic low back pain patients are not all made in the same way. There are numerous factors that contribute to their back pain state. Each chronic low back pain sufferer must be evaluated individually as your Fernandina Beach chiropractor strives to do. It’s well-known that back muscle function varies from a chronic low back pain sufferer to another. Distinctions can be found via a thorough examination which Amelia Chiropractic Clinic does quite well. The exam discoveries help shape a personalized treatment plan with personalized exercise recommendations. (1) Be confident that you will be treated like the individual you are at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic!

WHICH EXERCISE FOR WHICH MUSCLE?

Exercise is a regular recommendation for back pain patients…and for good reason. Muscles support the body and spine. A review of published papers on the usefulness of exercise revealed that exercise was likely effective for chronic low back pain in comparison to no treatment, placebo, advice or education alone, electrotherapy, or usual care. Its impact was limited for function, but it improved pain and functional limitations outcomes. (2) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic believes our Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients would agree that benefits of any sort like this for a condition that is reportedly the top cause of disability around the world for the past three decades or so, costing a lot in direct healthcare expense as well as lost productivity, are valuable to seek with some 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 and strengthening the multifidus and the core as well. Start this by starting on all fours: knees and hands, stretching the left leg and right arm out parallel to 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 Amelia Chiropractic Clinic before starting any exercise though to be sure it’s appropriate for you!
