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. Wilson Family Chiropractic knows our Millville 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. Wilson Family 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)

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 a powerful factor in your risk of getting back pain.  It is better not to smoke.) (2) Wilson Family Chiropractic recommends simple exercises you can do in a short amount of time 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 gain 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 hard; they’re just effective! Wilson Family Chiropractic will share them with you so you can feel the most possible back pain relief. Wilson Family Chiropractic is with you, our Millville back pain patient, during your healing process with as much support as you need.

Back school is an additional such support. Back school and manipulation/mobilization are standards of care for working with chronic nonspecific low back pain. These two approaches are recommended over many other types of care. (4) Cox Technic, an evidence based system of spine care, is spinal manipulation that Wilson Family Chiropractic chooses to use.

The addition of back school to the chiropractic treatment plan enriches the positives of back pain rehabilitation. How? Back school fosters self-management, gives control back to the patient to take care of him/herself. (5) Wilson Family Chiropractic strives to educate our back pain patients as to how and why their backs hurt and how to avoid or at least diminish the chances of 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 share the material. (6) Millville chiropractic patients at Wilson Family Chiropractic are some of the wisest and knowledgeable spine-informed people around!
