Back pain turns into the main focus when it
happens. The term
‘back pain’ is quite general though as back pain arises
from the mingled contributions of muscles, nerves, bones, etc. Low back muscles may be weak and/or unstable making
them less useful in supporting the spine. Exercise repeatedly shows just how beneficial it is in addressing
spinal instability that accompanies Groton
back pain. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office endoreses
exercise as something a back pain sufferer can do to help him/herself.
SPINAL INSTABILITY AND BALANCE
Instability impacts balance. Back pain
sufferers’ troubled balance may be caused by poorly
coordinated neuromuscular control and altered spine stability. A new
study contrasted 3 groups: subacute non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) sufferers with
lumbar instability, those who don’t have instability, and healthy
subjects. Sufferers with lumbar spine instability demonstrated
more issues with balance control, proprioception,
fear of movement, more pain, and functional ability than sufferers
who don’t have such instability. (1) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office tests
for instability in our Groton back pain patients and designs
a Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management treatment plan that encompasses
pain relieving spinal manipulation, nutrition, and exercise.
EXERCISE FOR SPINAL INSTABILITY AND BALANCE IMPROVEMENT
Exercise is a usual intervention for low back
pain patients whatever the treatment plan. For
subacute NSLBP sufferers, exercise is beneficial. Recently, two types
of exercise were assessed: core stabilization and strengthening
exercise. A month of training
for 30 minutes a session three times a week demonstrated that
core stabilization produced significantly more improvement than
strengthening. Core stabilization enhanced proprioception,
balance (as shown by single leg standing with eyes open and
closed on stable and unstable surfaces), muscle thickness
of the transverse abdominis and lumbar multifidus, lessened
functional disability, and less fear of movement. Bonuses
of either exercise: no unpleasant
side-effects AND pain relief. (2) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is always
concerned about balance issues in our chiropractic patients.
Exercise that improves Groton balance is so important.
