Are you weary of being advised to carry out exercises for your lower back pain or neck pain by your Fernandina Beach chiropractor? Absolutely! A magnitude of our Fernandina Beach back pain and neck pain patients are. It's almost natural to ignore the need to do our spine exercises so that we can watch television, clean the house, go to a party, etc. ANYTHING BUT HAVING TO DO THOSE DANG BACK EXERCISES - TOO BORING!!! Well, you know what Amelia Chiropractic Clinic would say ("Do them!"), but what does the literature say about getting them done?
Let's first consider the of lower back pain suffering and its being a worldwide health problem touching up to 80% of adult population. Then, you'll see that essential care must be furnished to all of us in Fernandina Beach and around the world to stop back pain as well as treat it. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic's chiropractic services and exercises are imperative to handle it physically while back school demonstrates effectiveness for people with chronic non-specific low back pain in managing the psychological factors that are often connected in its development and maintenance.
So first, a study by Davarian et al shows that patients with chronic low back pain and clinical instability showed lower muscle exertion and higher or quicker "time to fatigue" compared to healthy subjects. Strength training of trunk extensor muscles can be considered as part of the treatment protocol for chronic low back pain. (1)
- "Progressive Dynamic Spine Stabilization Exercise Protocols", when performed in the thoracic spine (the middle spine from the mid-shoulder area to the lower back), trigger improved postural stability which were designed for different spinal segments.
- Thoracic spine exercises can be considered a secret source for improving overall postural stability, weight distribution, and somatosensory reactions, too. (2)
Then, a research study involving fifty patients with chronic non-specific lower back pain who were randomly allocated to a group:
- Treatment Group participated to an intensive, multidisciplinary Back School program.
- Control Group received medical assistance.
Well, you know how some of us older Fernandina Beach folks, as we age, experience a feeling of imbalance and sometimes bump into walls. Well, a little Fernandina Beach exercise may well reverse this imbalance trend. But incorporating proprioceptive-type exercises with a training class called “Back School” has great benefit for the chronic low back pain patient. This precise back pain study shows this to be true:
Significant improvements in terms of quality of life, disability and pain were reported in the treatment group patients.
These results propose that Back School has positive effects physically and mentally. (3)
As you, the low back pain sufferer or friend or family of one, know: back pain may be depressing. Therefore, Amelia Chiropractic Clinic understands the importance of teaching the lower back pain patient to avoid back pain triggers and encourages a beneficial home exercise program to correct the postural stability of the patient.
Pain relief is our goal. But Amelia Chiropractic Clinic strives to treat the whole patient with a combined approach of our non-surgical treatment with Cox Technic and patient education to alleviate low back pain and its other side-effects.
