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 control of their pain relief. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre knows our Toronto
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. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre
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)
One article shares that there is big
payoff for doing a little exercise! Muscle strengthening activity performed 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. It’s best not
to smoke.) (2) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre presents
simple exercises you can do in a short amount of time
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 benefit
from exercises like the lumbopelvic core stabilization exercises by positively affecting
the pain perception by increasing your pain threshold and reducing
your pain intensity. (3) These exercises are not difficult, but they do
work.
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre will share them with you so you
can attain the best possible back pain relief.
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is with you, our Toronto back pain patient, through
your whole course of healing with as much support as you
need.
Back school is an additional 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) Cox Technic, an evidence based system of spine care, is spinal
manipulation that Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre chooses to use.
The chiropractic treatment plan is enhanced when
back school is added to the overall back pain rehabilitation
plan. How? Back school fosters self-management, gives
control back to the patient to help him/herself. (5)
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre strives to educate our back pain patients as
to how and why their backs hurt and how to prevent or at
least minimize future occurrences. One
study of just how well back school is received by back pain patients is a study
of those who attended a back school at a chiropractor’s office.
Back pain patients reported 95% satisfaction with going to the
class, and 100% said it was worth the doctor’s time
to present it. (6) Toronto chiropractic
patients at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre are some of the wisest and knowledgeable
spine-informed people around!
