Glute Strengthening Plus Chiropractic Eases Back Pain

March 13, 2018

Patient to the chiropractor: “Treat me so I don’t hurt.”

Chiropractor: “Be sure to do your exercises, so you won’t hurt.”

Chiropractors like your Fernandina Beach chiropractor at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic ponder how to get back pain patients to do recommended exercises. After all, these exercises help back pain sufferers get stronger as well as reduce and prevent back pain! The back muscles and gluteus muscles and hamstrings get greater. Patients ponder why the chiropractor recommends exercises since all they wanted was for the chiropractor to resolve the back pain problem. What a dilemma! Both the Fernandina Beach chiropractor and Fernandina Beach chiropractic patient have the same goal - pain relief – but their beliefs, experiences and expectations vary. (1) That is how it is. Research documents this. Clinical experience reveals this. When patients know this and their chiropractors know this, everyone then does his/her part to relieve Fernandina Beach back pain, prevent future pain, and strengthen muscle. Let us do that!

EXERCISE GUIDELINES TO LESSEN AND PREVENT BACK PAIN AND NECK PAIN

Guidelines for how to manage back pain and neck pain are published. Exercise is among the recommendations for the non-invasive pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies to help acute and chronic low back pain and neck pain both without serious pathology and with radiculopathy. Spinal manipulation and manual therapy are also in these guidelines by the Global Spine Care Initiative. (2) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic carefully considers these in caring for Fernandina Beach back pain.

BACK PAIN BENEFITS FROM STRONG GLUTEAL MUSCLES

Patients with low back pain are more apt to be less active. Pain influences that decision. Low back pain patients fear that activity may set off pain, resulting in weakened muscles like the gluteus maximus. Prolonged immobilization or inactivity prevents use of these muscles. In low back pain patients, a weak gluteus maximus is a common finding. Researchers write that the gluteus maximus cross-sectional area is reduced in low back pain sufferers, especially for women. (3) For Fernandina Beach chiropractic back pain patients feeling persistent lumbopelvic pain and test positive for sacroiliac joint dysfunction, performing gluteus maximus strengthening exercises is advantageous. Patients who did these found a reduction in pain and an improvement in gluteus maximum strength and function. (4) Doing both - exercise to strengthening the gluteus maximus muscles and lumbar segmental stabilization exercise – reduced low back pain disability significantly more and increased lumbar spine muscle strength and balance better than just lumbar segmental stabilization exercise by itself. (5) To activate the gluteus maximus muscles, erector spinae and hamstrings more deliverately during exercise, researchers created a unique laser pointer system that allowed the exercise participants to visualize their muscle usage. This improved their form. (6) Let your Fernandina Beach chiropractor be your laser pointer! Follow advised tips for how to exercise properly.
