Relieving Exercise for Minster Back Pain Relief

August 15, 2017

“Exercise? Didn’t you hear me say my back (or neck) hurts?”

Minster Chiropractic Center hears you! Minster Chiropractic Center knows your back hurts. Many Minster chiropractic patients come for just that motivation: Minster back pain. Back/Neck pain relief - whether due to Minster spinal stenosis or a Minster disc herniation whether it’s in the back/neck only or goes down the leg/arm and into the foot/hand - is possible by our joint effort: Minster chiropractic care including spinal manipulation and exercise.

Minster SPINAL STENOSIS AND LEG PAIN

Low back pain patients with spinal stenosis and leg pain have more fatty areas and less extensor muscles on MRI. What does that mean? They have a loss of muscle power in the low back when pain bothers a patient. (1) One of the causes of low back pain is lumbar hyperlordosis (sway back). One type of therapeutic exercise known as Perez-Olmedo revealed improvement in 60% of youths with hyperlordosis. (2) Minster Chiropractic Center looks for such causes and has just the exercise to address the issue.

Minster NECK PAIN

Neck pain patients experience less neck pain and improved dysfunction neck posture and range of motion with thoracic spine manipulation. The relief continues for up to 6 months post-treatment. (3) This goes to show that spinal manipulation is an important part in Minster pain relief treatment plans. Minster Chiropractic Center is good at setting these up for our Minster chiropractic patients!

Minster BACK PAIN

Chronic low back pain patients with weak abs were treated with abdominoplasty (a “tummy tuck”).  This produces a spine-stabilizing effect by tightening the muscles increasing intraabdominal pressure and  increasing the efficiency of these muscles to make them better spine stabilizers. Such abdominal strengthening should be considered as an option for patients with weak ab muscles and intractable low back pain who have not been helped by conservative management. (4) Minster Chiropractic Center can offer you some individualized exercises that will be just right for you before resorting to a surgery!

INTERMITTENT CLAUDICATION (cramp-like pain in the legs upon exercise like walking)

Peripheral artery disease patients with intermittent claudication were treated with a home-based exercise program a supervised exercise program and usual-care control. Both exercise programs had patients exercise with a step activity monitor for 12 weeks. The patients continued with these programs which both proved useful in improving claudication measures similar to a standard supervised exercise program. Such exercise seems to be more successful in getting patients to exercise in the community setting than supervised exercise. (5) If you are one of those Minster Chiropractic Center is ready to be your community!

Minster NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN

Persistent non-specific low back pain pushes some Minster back pain patients over the edge…with good reason! Minster Chiropractic Center gets it! Compared with minimal or other interventions Pilates is a good alternative to try to decrease back pain and ease disability. (7)

Minster POST-SURGICAL BACK PAIN

Even after back surgery, exercise helps. Aerobic exercise beginning one month after first time single-level lumbar microdiscectomy brought about a more pronounced functional improvement than home exercise. (8) Whatever it takes to help reduce back pain is the important factor. Listen in to a PODCAST that shares how Cox Technic helps relieve post-surgical back pain.
