Exercise Enhances Chiropractic Back Pain Relief Plan

Exercise is good and beneficial. Exercise is integral to the chiropractic care plan for spine pain issues of types. Exercise also allows the patient to take control of their pain relief. Moses Chiropractic knows our West Palm Beach 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. Moses Chiropractic doesn’t consider this helpful at all! Why do back pain patients have weaker muscles? 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)

Researchers find that there is big payoff for doing a little exercise! Muscle strengthening activity done just two days a week lowers the odds of low back pain. (And this article, as a side note, shares that smoking is also an influential factor in the equation of whether you get back pain or not.  Recommendation: Don’t smoke!) (2) Moses Chiropractic recommends simple exercises you can do in just a few minutes from the comfort of your own home if you like! They’ll make a big impact. You’ll see!

Chronic nonspecific low back pain sufferers benefit from exercises like the lumbopelvic core stabilization exercises by positively influencing the pain perception by increasing your pain threshold and dropping your pain intensity. (3) These exercises are not difficult, but they do work. Moses Chiropractic will who you how to do them so you can experience the best possible back pain relief. Moses Chiropractic is with you, our West Palm Beach back pain patient, through your whole course of healing with as much support as you need.

Back school is an extra such support. Back school and manipulation/mobilization are standards of care for handling chronic nonspecific low back pain. These two approaches are suggested over many other approaches. (4) Moses Chiropractic uses spinal manipulation in the form of Cox Technic, a chiropractic evidence based system of spine care.

The chiropractic treatment plan is enhanced when back school is included in the overall back pain rehabilitation plan. How? Back school nurtures self-management, gives control back to the patient to help him/herself. (5) Moses Chiropractic tries to educate our back pain patients as to how and why their backs hurt and how to avoid or at least minimize 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 giving it.
