Effective Manahawkin Back Pain Exercise: Bird Dog
Exercise for back pain: a common suggestion with good reason. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center individualizes the proper back pain exercises for each Manahawkin back pain sufferer visiting Manahawkin Chiropractic Center to maximize back pain relief, boost the supporting muscles like the erector spinae and multifidus, and recoup function. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center also tries to find exercises that are simple, effective in multiple ways like the “bird dog” movement!
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 state. Each chronic low back pain sufferer must be evaluated individually as your Manahawkin chiropractor always tries to do. It’s a known fact that back muscle function varies from one chronic low back pain sufferer to another. Distinctions can be found via a thorough examination which Manahawkin Chiropractic Center does quite well. The exam discoveries help mold a personalized treatment plan with personalized exercise recommendations. (1) Know with confidence that you are an individual at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center!
WHICH EXERCISE FOR WHICH MUSCLE?
Exercise is a regular suggestion for back pain patients…and with good reason. Muscles support the body and spine. A review of published research 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) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center believes our Manahawkin chiropractic patients would concur that benefits of any type like this for a condition that is reportedly the leading cause of disability globally for the past three decades or so, costing much in direct healthcare expense as well as lost productivity, are worth seeking 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, but they are so critical for stability. Bird-dog (aka quadruped opposite arm/leg) is a 3-way effective exercise: toning the erector spinae and strengthening both the core and the multifidus. Start this by starting on all fours: knees and hands, stretching the left leg and right arm out parallel to the floor. Hold the position for a couple seconds and repeat on the other side. Do this 10 times on each side. (3,4) Talk with Manahawkin Chiropractic Center before starting any exercise though to be sure it’s the right one for you!
