Fernandina Beach Back Pain and Associated Spinal Instability Helped by Exercise to Improve Balance and More
Back pain becomes the focus when it rears its head. The term ‘back pain’ is very generic though as back pain arises from the mingled contributions of muscles, nerves, bones, etc. Low back muscles may be frail and/or unstable leacing them less useful in supporting the spine. Exercise continued to show just how beneficial it is in addressing spinal instability associated with Fernandina Beach back pain. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic highly recommends exercise as something a back pain sufferer can do to help him/herself.
SPINAL INSTABILITY AND BALANCE
Instability impacts balance. Back pain sufferers’ troubled balance may result from poorly coordinated neuromuscular control and altered spine stability. A recent study contrasted 3 groups: subacute non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) sufferers with lumbar instability, those without instability, and healthy subjects. Those with lumbar spine instability demonstrated more problems with balance control, proprioception, fear of movement, increased pain, and functional ability than sufferers who don’t have such instability. (1) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic checks for instability in our Fernandina Beach back pain patients and designs a Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management treatment plan that encompasses pain relieving spinal manipulation, nutrition, and exercise.
EXERCISE FOR SPINAL INSTABILITY AND BALANCE IMPROVEMENT
Exercise is a usual intervention for low back pain patients no matter the treatment plan. For subacute NSLBP sufferers, exercise is advantageous. Recently, two versions of exercise were compared: core stabilization and strengthening exercise. A month of three-times-a-day 30-minute-sessions showed that core stabilization produced significantly more improvement than strengthening. Core stabilization improved proprioception, balance (as shown by single leg standing with eyes open and closed on stable and unstable surfaces), muscle thickness of the transverse abdominis and lumbar multifidus, reduced functional disability, and reduced fear of movement. Bonuses affiliated with both types of exercise: no unpleasant side-effects AND pain relief. (2) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is always checking for balance issues in our chiropractic patients. Exercise that helps with Fernandina Beach balance is so vital.
