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. Exercise also allows the patient to take control of their pain relief. Malverne Health & Wellness knows our Malverne 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. Malverne Health & Wellness knows this isn’t good for our Malverne 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! 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 your risk of getting back pain.  Recommendation: Don’t smoke!) (2) Malverne Health & Wellness 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 increasing your pain threshold and dropping your pain intensity. (3) Such exercises aren’t tough; they’re just effective! Malverne Health & Wellness will who you how to do them so you can experience the most possible back pain relief. Malverne Health & Wellness is with you, our Malverne back pain patient, during your healing process 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 recommended over many other approaches. (4) Cox Technic, an evidence based system of spine care, is spinal manipulation that Malverne Health & Wellness chooses to use.

The chiropractic treatment plan is enriched 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 take care of him/herself. (5) Malverne Health & Wellness attempts to educate our back pain patients as to how and why their backs hurt and how to prevent 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 presenting it. (6) Malverne chiropractic patients at Malverne Health & Wellness are some of the wisest and knowledgeable spine-informed people around!
