EXERCISE EFFICACY FOR LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain patients get results with therapeutic exercise in strengthening trunk muscles and increasing spine stability. There are many exercise options available from core stabilization and strengthening to motor control exercises and muscle strengthening. In one study of subacute nonspecific low back pain sufferers, core stabilization exercises proved better than stabilization exercises regarding proprioception, balance, muscle (transverse abdoiminis, lumbar multifidus) thickness, reducing patients’ fear of movement, and functional disability. (1) Another study stated core stabilization exercise to lessen pain, improve function, and boost core strength in nonspecific low back pain patients. (2) Spine stabilization exercises and flexion exercises done24 daily both helped multifidus muscle thickness in patients with chronic low back pain and spondylolisthesis . (3) Advice: Choose one that you like to do (after we discuss it!)! Your back pain will thank you.
EXERCISE FOR NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Regardless of a diagnosis of non-specific low back pain being frustrating (We all want to understand what lies below our pain!), exercise offers hope of its management. A new study found that exercise training in-person and via multimedia/video were effective in 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 desiring some pain relief are urged to perform exercises as part of an overall chiropractic treatment plan.
EXERCISE WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION
Combining efforts offers additional hope for back pain patients regardless of 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 patient described above did, clinicians receiving spinal manipulation tend toward using gentler non-manual-thrust spinal manipulation while chiropractors leaned toward using manual thrust. Spinal manipulation was used 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 experienced persistent back pain after spine surgery.
