Manahawkin Back Pain Relief Helped by Exercise

Back pain - nonspecific or chronic or subacute – can be helped with exercise. Our Manahawkin back pain patients realize from day 1 that they can exercise safely and gently. We share how to do simple, effective ones that will allow you some control over your condition. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is your Manahawkin exercise coach as well as your spinal manipulation chiropractor: the best of both worlds!

EXERCISE EFFICACY FOR LOW BACK PAIN

Low back pain patients get results with therapeutic exercise in strengthening trunk muscles and enhancing spine stability. There are many exercise options obtainable from core stabilization and strengthening to motor control exercises and muscle strengthening. In a study of subacute nonspecific low back pain sufferers, core stabilization exercises showed that they were better than stabilization exercises regarding proprioception, balance, muscle (transverse abdoiminis, lumbar multifidus) thickness, decreasing patients’ fear of movement, and functional disability. (1) Another study reported core stabilization exercise to lessen pain, improve function, and increase core strength in nonspecific low back pain patients. (2) Spine stabilization exercises and flexion exercises done24 daily equally 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

Despite 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 found that exercise training in-person and via multimedia/video were good for training back pain patients to properly perform the more complex motor control exercises. (4) Core exercises along with hip muscle strengthening effectively improved physical activity and function for nonspecific low back pain patients. (5) Manahawkin back pain patients wanting some pain relief are urged to perform exercises as part of an overall chiropractic treatment plan.

EXERCISE WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION

Combining efforts proposes additional 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 shared that flexion distraction spinal manipulation along with rehabilitative exercise (in this case: bird dog and core stabilization) got relief and improvement. (6) Managing back pain in patients who have already had back surgery (laminectomy, fusion, discectomy) like the above patient did, clinicians using spinal manipulation are inclined to using gentler non-manual-thrust spinal manipulation while chiropractors tended to use manual thrust. Spinal manipulation was applied less than a year after back surgery in 66% of cases in this study. Treating healthcare providers utilized spinal manipulation with 85% of patients who had persistent back pain after spine surgery(7) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center carefully examines and decides the gentlest treatment technique for you.
