PERSONALIZED EXERCISE BASED ON YOUR SPINE
Chronic low back pain patients are not created equally. There are numerous factors that contribute to their back pain status. Each chronic low back pain sufferer must be considered individually as your Sitka chiropractor strives to do. It’s a known fact that back muscle function differs from a chronic low back pain sufferer to another. Distinctions can be found from a thorough examination which Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka does quite well. The exam discoveries help guide a personalized treatment plan with personalized exercise recommendations. (1) Know with confidence that you are an individual at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka!
WHICH EXERCISE FOR WHICH MUSCLE?
Exercise is a common prescription for back pain patients…and with good reason. Muscles support the body and spine. A review of published papers on the effectiveness of exercise found 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 effect was limited for function, but it enhanced pain and functional limitations outcomes. (2) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka believes our Sitka chiropractic patients would be in agreement that benefits of any type like this for a condition that is reportedly the top cause of disability globally for the past three decades or so, costing a lot in direct healthcare expense in addition to lost productivity, are valuable to seek with a little 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 weaken with back pain yet are so critical 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 level with 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 Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka before beginning any exercise though to be sure it’s the right one for you!
