PERSONALIZED EXERCISE BASED ON YOUR SPINE
Chronic low back pain patients are not all made in the same way. There are numerous factors that contribute to their back pain status. Each chronic low back pain sufferer must be considered individually as your La Grande chiropractor always tries to do. It’s well-known that back muscle function varies from a chronic low back pain sufferer to another. Differences can be found via a thorough examination which Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC does quite well. The exam discoveries help mold an individual treatment plan with individualized exercise recommendations. (1) Know with confidence that you are an individual at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC!
WHICH EXERCISE FOR WHICH MUSCLE?
Exercise is a regular suggestion for back pain patients…and for good reason. Muscles support the body and spine. A review of published research on the usefulness of exercise revealed that exercise was likely effective for chronic low back pain in comparison to no treatment, placebo, advice or education alone, electrotherapy, or usual care. Its effect was limited for function, but it improved pain and functional limitations outcomes. (2) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC thinks our La Grande chiropractic patients would be in agreement that benefits of any type like this for a condition that is reportedly the top cause of disability around the world for the past three decades or so, costing a lot in direct healthcare expense as well as lost productivity, are worth pursuing with a little exercise. Start with one exercise (like the following one!) and build up to the basic 10 for back pain.
ONE SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE EXERCISE: BIRD DOG
Erector spinae and multifidi muscles often weaken with back pain, but they are so valuable for stability. Bird-dog (aka quadruped opposite arm/leg) is a 3-way effective exercise: toning the erector spinae while strengthening both the core and the multifidus. Start this by getting on all fours: knees and hands, stretching the left leg and right arm out parallel to the floor. Hold this for a couple seconds and repeat on the other side. Do this 10 times on each side. (3,4) Talk with Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC before beginning any exercise though to be sure it’s appropriate for you!
