Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is your Fernandina Beach exercise coach as well as your spinal manipulation chiropractor: the best of both realms!
EXERCISE EFFICACY FOR LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain patients get results with therapeutic exercise in strengthening trunk muscles and enhancing spine stability. There is a variety of exercise options obtainable from core stabilization and strengthening to motor control exercises and muscle strengthening. In one study of subacute nonspecific low back pain sufferers, core stabilization exercises proved better than stabilization exercises regarding proprioception, balance, muscle (transverse abdoiminis, lumbar multifidus) thickness, reducing patients’ fear of movement, and functional disability. (1) Another study reported core stabilization exercise to decrease pain, improve function, and increase core strength in nonspecific low back pain patients. (2) Spine stabilization exercises and flexion exercises performed24 daily both increased multifidus muscle thickness in patients with chronic low back pain and spondylolisthesis . (3) Advice: Pick one that you are most likely to do (after we discuss it!)! Your back pain will thank you.
EXERCISE FOR NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Regardless of a diagnosis of non-specific low back pain that may frustrate you (We all want to understand what lies below our pain!), exercise offers hope of its management. A recent study reported that exercise training in-person and via multimedia/video were good for training back pain patients to correctly do the more complex motor control exercises. (4) Core exercises with the addition of hip muscle strengthening effectively improved physical activity and function for nonspecific low back pain patients. (5) Fernandina Beach back pain patients desiring some pain relief are encouraged to do exercises 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) found relief and recovery. (6) Managing back pain in patients who have undergone back surgery (laminectomy, fusion, discectomy) like the patient described above did, clinicians receiving spinal manipulation are inclined to using gentler non-manual-thrust spinal manipulation while chiropractors leaned toward using manual thrust. Spinal manipulation was used less than 12 months after back surgery in 66% of cases in this study. Treating healthcare providers delivered spinal manipulation with 85% of patients who had persistent back pain after spine surgery.
