Effective Juneau Back Pain Exercise: Bird Dog
Exercise for back pain: a common recommendation with good reason. Aurora Chiropractic Center individualizes the most appropriate back pain exercises for each Juneau back pain sufferer visiting Aurora Chiropractic Center to relieve pain best, strengthen the supporting muscles like the erector spinae and multifidus, and regain function. Aurora Chiropractic Center also gives every effort to find exercises that are simple, effective in multiple ways like the “bird dog” move!
PERSONALIZED EXERCISE BASED ON YOUR SPINE
Chronic low back pain patients are not created equally. There are many factors that contribute to their back pain situation. Each chronic low back pain sufferer must be considered individually as your Juneau chiropractor always tries to do. It’s a known fact that back muscle function varies from one chronic low back pain sufferer to another. Distinctions can be found via a thorough examination which Aurora Chiropractic Center does quite well. The exam discoveries help create an individual treatment plan with individualized exercise recommendations. (1) Be confident that you will be treated like the individual you are at Aurora Chiropractic Center!
WHICH EXERCISE FOR WHICH MUSCLE?
Exercise is a common prescription 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 enhanced pain and functional limitations outcomes. (2) Aurora Chiropractic Center believes our Juneau chiropractic patients would be in agreement that benefits of any sort like this for a condition that is reportedly the foremost cause of disability globally for the past three decades or so, costing a lot in direct healthcare expense and lost productivity, are valuable to seek 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 yet are so important for stability. Bird-dog (aka quadruped opposite arm/leg) is a 3-way effective exercise: toning the erector spinae while strengthening the multifidus and the core as well. Start this by getting on all fours: knees and hands, stretching the left leg and right arm out level with the floor. Hold this for a couple seconds and repeat on the other side. Perform this 10 times on each side. (3,4) Talk with Aurora Chiropractic Center before beginning any exercise though to be sure it’s appropriate for you!
