Relieving Exercise for Sitka Back Pain Relief
“Exercise? But my neck (or back) hurts!”
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka hears you! Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka knows your back hurts. Many Sitka chiropractic patients come for just that reason: Sitka back pain. Back/Neck pain relief - whether because of Sitka spinal stenosis or a Sitka disc herniation whether it is in the back/neck only or goes down the leg/arm and into the foot/hand - is possible via our combined effort: Sitka chiropractic care including spinal manipulation and exercise.
Sitka SPINAL STENOSIS AND LEG PAIN
Low back pain patients with spinal stenosis and leg pain show decreased cross sectional area of the spinal extensor muscles and fat infiltration on MRI. What does that mean? They have a loss of muscle power in the low back when pain is present. (1) One of the causes of low back pain is lumbar hyperlordosis (sway back). One type of therapeutic exercise known as Perez-Olmedo revealed improvement in 60% of youths with hyperlordosis. (2) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka looks for such causes and has just the exercise to tackle the issue.
Sitka NECK PAIN
Neck pain patients experience less neck pain and improved dysfunction neck posture and range of motion with thoracic spine manipulation. The relief continues for up to a half-year post-treatment. (3) This just shows that spinal manipulation is an essential part in Sitka pain relief treatment plans. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is experienced at arranging for our Sitka chiropractic patients!
Sitka BACK PAIN
Chronic low back pain patients with marked lower abdominal wall muscular laxity were treated with abdominoplasty (a “tummy tuck”). This produces a spine-stabilizing effect by tightening the muscles increasing intraabdominal pressure and increasing the efficiency of these muscles to make them better spine stabilizers. Such abdominal strengthening should be considered a way for patients with weak lower abdominal muscles and intractable low back pain who have not been helped by conservative management. (4) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka can recommend you some individualized exercises that will do the trick before resorting to a surgery!
INTERMITTENT CLAUDICATION (cramp-like pain in the legs upon exercise like walking)
Peripheral artery disease patients with intermittent claudication were treated with a home-based exercise program a supervised exercise program and usual-care control. Both exercise programs had patients exercise with a step activity monitor for 12 weeks. The patients kept at these programs which both proved effective in improving claudication measures similar to a standard supervised exercise program. Such exercise seems to be more effective in increasing daily activity in the community setting than supervised exercise. (5) If you are one of those Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is ready to be your community!
Sitka NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Persistent non-specific low back pain drives some Sitka back pain sufferers mad…with good reason! Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka gets it! Compared with minimal or other interventions Pilates is a superb alternative to try to reduce back pain and improve disability. (7)
Sitka POST-SURGICAL BACK PAIN
Even after back surgery, exercise helps. Aerobic exercise beginning one month after first time single-level lumbar microdiscectomy resulted in a more marked functional improvement than home exercise.
