Elgin Exercise Helps with Back Pain Relief and Strength
“Doc, what type of exercise do you think would help?”
“The kind that you’ll do!”
There is some wit in that response, but it’s true, also. Exercise that you will do is the most valuable exercise of all! Whether you have Elgin neck pain or Elgin back pain, strengthening exercise is positive. Connected Chiropractic is ready 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, especially in terms of pain intensity relief. Comparing general strength and conditioning exercise to motor control exercise with manual therapy made known that the general exercise was more apt to provide a more varied range of treatment results. Specifically, the general exercise bettered trunk endurance, leg muscle strength and endurance, disability, multifidus muscle volume, and fear of moving in patients with chronic low back pain. (1) A Cochrane Review of published medical literature showed that motor control exercise is more effective in decreasing 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’s that mean? General strength and conditioning exercise is beneficial to decrease pain by boosting the overall body condition. Connected Chiropractic helps Elgin back pain patients set up an exercise routine that works for them to maximize pain reduction and improve strength.
EXERCISE AND MANIPULATION
Connected Chiropractic also works to get the most back pain reduction and strength improvement by blending exercise with chiropractic treatment. Connected Chiropractic uses The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to enrich these clinical outcomes. A new report says that blending manipulative treatment with exercise reduced pain and improved functional disability more than exercise alone for non-specific neck pain sufferers. (3) Together, your Elgin chiropractor and you will determine the best suited exercises and the best suited exercise practice to complement your Elgin chiropractic treatment plan to get you feeling the best you can!
