La Grande Exercise Helps with Back Pain Relief and Strength
“Doc, what kind of exercise do you think would help?”
“The kind that you’ll do!”
There is some humor in that answer, but there is some truth in it, too. Exercise that you will do is the most useful exercise of all! Whether you suffer with La Grande neck pain or La Grande back pain, strengthening exercise is positive. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is here to help you figure out what exercise you will do and exercise that will help you.
STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING EXERCISE HELPS
General strength and conditioning exercise benefits chronic low back pain patients, particularly in terms of pain intensity reduction. Comparing general strength and conditioning exercise to motor control exercise with manual therapy revealed that the general exercise tended to deliver a more assorted range of treatment effects. In particular, the general exercise bettered trunk endurance, leg muscle strength and endurance, disability, multifidus muscle volume, and fear of doing daily activities in chronic low back pain patients. (1) A Cochrane Review of published medical literature revealed that motor control exercise is more effective in reducing chronic low back pain than minimal intervention, but, alone, motor control exercise doesn’t stand out to be better than other exercise or manual therapy for pain relief. (2) What does this mean? General strength and conditioning exercise is useful to decrease pain by boosting the overall body condition. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC helps La Grande back pain patients set up an exercise practice that works for them to maximize pain reduction and increase strength.
EXERCISE AND MANIPULATION
Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC also works to maximize back pain reduction and strength improvement by blending exercise with chiropractic treatment. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC uses The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to enrich such clinical outcomes. A recent report states that blending manipulative treatment with exercise decreased pain and improved functional disability more than exercise by itself for non-specific neck pain sufferers.
