Groton Exercise Helps with Back Pain Relief and Strength
“Doc, what type of exercise do you think would help?”
“The kind that you will do!”
There is some humor in that answer, but there is some truth in it, also. Exercise that you will do is the most valuable exercise of all! Whether you have Groton neck pain or Groton back pain, strengthening exercise is positive. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is here to help you figure out what exercise you will do and exercise that will benefit you.
STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING EXERCISE HELPS
General strength and conditioning exercise helps chronic low back pain patients, especially in terms of pain intensity relief. Comparing general strength and conditioning exercise to motor control exercise with manual therapy disclosed that the general exercise was more apt to deliver a more varied range of treatment results. In particular, the general exercise improved trunk endurance, leg muscle strength and endurance, disability, multifidus muscle volume, and fear of doing daily activities in patients with chronic low back pain. (1) A Cochrane Review of published medical literature showed that motor control exercise is more successful in decreasing chronic low back pain than minimal intervention, but, on its own, motor control exercise doesn’t show itself to be healthier than other exercise or manual therapy for pain relief. (2) What does this mean? General strength and conditioning exercise is beneficial for pain reduction by improving the overall body condition. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office helps Groton back pain patients establish an exercise practice that works for them to get the most in pain reduction and increase strength.
EXERCISE AND MANIPULATION
Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office also works to maximize back pain reduction and strength improvement by blending exercise with chiropractic treatment. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office uses The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to enrich these clinical outcomes. A recent report says that blending manipulative treatment with exercise reduced pain and improved functional disability more than exercise alone for non-specific neck pain sufferers.
