We show how to do simple, effective ones that will help you feel some control over your situation. Vancouver Disc Centers is your Vancouver exercise coach as well as your chiropractor who delivers spinal manipulation : 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 is a variety of 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 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 reduce pain, enhance function, and boost core strength in nonspecific low back pain patients. (2) Spine stabilization exercises and flexion exercises performed24 daily both 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
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 reported that exercise training in-person and via multimedia/video were effective in training back pain patients to appropriately do the more complex motor control exercises. (4) Core exercises along with hip muscle strengthening effectively enhanced physical activity and function for nonspecific low back pain patients. (5) Vancouver back pain patients desiring some pain relief are encouraged to perform exercises as part of their 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 described that flexion distraction spinal manipulation along with rehab exercise (in this case: bird dog and core stabilization) found relief and recovery. (6) In caring for back pain in patients who have undergone back surgery (laminectomy, fusion, discectomy) like the above patient did, clinicians using spinal manipulation tend toward using gentler non-manual-thrust spinal manipulation while chiropractors tended to use manual thrust. Spinal manipulation was used less than 12 months after back surgery in 66% of cases in this study. Treating healthcare providers delivered spinal manipulation with 85% of patients who had persistent back pain after spine surgery. (7) Vancouver Disc Centers carefully examines and determines the gentlest treatment technique for you.
