Relieving Exercise for Groton Back Pain Relief

August 15, 2017

“Exercise? Didn’t you hear me say my back (or neck) hurts?”

Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office hears you! Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office knows your back hurts. Many Groton chiropractic patients come for just that motivation: Groton back pain. Back/Neck pain relief - whether because of Groton spinal stenosis or a Groton disc herniation whether it’s in the back/neck only or goes down the leg/arm and into the foot/hand - is possible by our combined effort: Groton chiropractic care including spinal manipulation and exercise.

Groton SPINAL STENOSIS AND LEG PAIN

Low back pain patients with spinal stenosis and leg pain show decreased cross sectional area of the spinal extensor muscles and fat infiltration on MRI. What does that mean? They have a loss of muscle power in the low back when pain bothers a patient. (1) One of the causes of low back pain is lumbar hyperlordosis (sway back). One type of therapeutic exercise known as Perez-Olmedo revealed improvement in 60% of youths with hyperlordosis. (2) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office looks for such causes and has just the exercise to tackle the issue.

Groton NECK PAIN

Neck pain patients experience less neck pain and improved dysfunction neck posture and range of motion with thoracic spine manipulation. The relief continues for up to a half-year post-treatment. (3) This just shows that spinal manipulation is an essential component in Groton pain relief treatment plans. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is excellent at arranging for our Groton chiropractic patients!

Groton BACK PAIN

Chronic low back pain patients with weak stomach muscles were treated with abdominoplasty (a “tummy tuck”).  This tightens and stabilizes the ab muscles by making the muscles work better and increase intraabdominal pressure to make them better spine stabilizers. Such abdominal strengthening should be considered as an option for patients with weak abs and stubborn low back pain who have not been helped by conservative management.

INTERMITTENT CLAUDICATION (cramp-like pain in the legs upon exercise like walking)

Peripheral artery disease patients with intermittent claudication were treated with a home-based exercise program a supervised exercise program and usual-care control. Both exercise programs had patients exercise with a step activity monitor for 12 weeks. The patients continued with these programs which both proved effective in improving claudication measures similar to a standard supervised exercise program. Such exercise seems to be more effective in increasing daily activity in the community setting than supervised exercise. (5) If you are one of those Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is prepared to be your community!

Groton NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN

Persistent non-specific low back pain pushes some Groton back pain patients over the edge…with good reason! Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office gets it! Compared with minimal or other interventions Pilates is a superb alternative to try to reduce back pain and improve disability. (7)

Groton POST-SURGICAL BACK PAIN

Even after back surgery, exercise helps. Aerobic exercise commencing one month after first time single-level lumbar microdiscectomy brought about a more pronounced functional improvement than home exercise. (8) Whatever it takes to help decrease back pain is the important factor. Listen in to a PODCAST that shares how Cox Technic helps relieve post-surgical back pain.
