Exercise is good and beneficial. It
goes hand-in-hand with chiropractic care of spine pain conditions of all sorts.
Exercise also allows the patient to take part
in their healing. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. knows our Auburn
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. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. knows this isn’t good for
our Auburn 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)
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 a
powerful factor in your risk of getting back pain. It’s best not
to smoke.) (2) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. offers
simple exercises you can do in just a few minutes
from the comfort of your own bedroom if you like! You will see
just how big an impact these exercises will make on your healing.
Chronic nonspecific low back pain sufferers gain
from exercises like the lumbopelvic core stabilization exercises by positively influencing
the pain perception by improving your pain threshold and reducing
your pain intensity. (3) These exercises are not difficult, but they do
work.
Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. will share them with you so you
can attain the most possible back pain relief.
Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is with you, our Auburn back pain patient, throughout
your whole course of healing with as much support as you
need.
Back school is another such
support. Back school and manipulation/mobilization are standards of care for managing chronic nonspecific low back pain. These two approaches are suggested
over many other types of care. (4) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. uses spinal
manipulation in the form of Cox Technic, a chiropractic evidence based system of spine care.
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 help him/herself. (5)
Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. strives to educate our back pain patients as
to how and why their backs hurt and how to avoid 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 providing it. (6) Auburn chiropractic
patients at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. are some of the most spine-smart people around!
