Exercise Enhances Chiropractic Back Pain Relief Plan

Exercise is effective and helpful. It goes hand-in-hand with chiropractic care of spine pain conditions of all sorts. Patients get to be a part of their own care and healing when they do their exercises. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office knows our Groton chiropractic patients just want to get back to doing what they want to do, what they used to do.

Weak back muscles don’t allow fluid spinal motion in low back pain patients. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office knows this isn’t good for our Groton back pain patients! What makes these muscles weak? Fat. With back pain comes more fat infiltration into the back muscles, muscles like the lumbar multifidus muscles which greatly influence the range of motion in lumbar spine. Fattier multifidi, less lumbar flexion. (1)

One article shares that doing a little exercise does a lot! Patients who did just 2 days of muscle strengthening a week lowered the risk for low back pain. (And this article, as a side note, suggests that smoking is also an influential factor in the equation of whether you get back pain or not.  Recommendation: Don’t smoke!) (2) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office presents simple exercises you can do in a short amount of time from the comfort of your own bedroom if you like! You’ll notice the difference these make!

Chronic nonspecific low back pain sufferers benefit from exercises like the lumbopelvic core stabilization exercises by positively affecting the pain perception by improving your pain threshold and reducing your pain intensity. (3) These exercises are not difficult, but they do work. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office will who you how to do them so you can attain the most possible back pain relief. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is with you, our Groton back pain patient, during your healing process with as much support as you need.

Back school is an additional such support. Back school and manipulation/mobilization are standards of care for managing chronic nonspecific low back pain. These two approaches are suggested over many other approaches. (4) Cox Technic, an evidence based system of spine care, is spinal manipulation that Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office chooses to use.

The chiropractic treatment plan is enhanced when back school is added to the overall back pain rehabilitation plan. How? Back school nurtures self-management, gives control back to the patient to help him/herself. (5) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office strives to educate our back pain patients as to how and why their backs hurt and how to preclude or at least curtail future occurrences. A survey of patients who attended a back school in a chiropractor’s office showed 95% satisfaction with having attended the course and 100% support of the doctor’s providing it. (6) Groton chiropractic patients at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office are some of the most spine-smart people around!
