Relieving Exercise for Elgin Back Pain Relief

“Exercise? But my neck (or back) hurts!”

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

Elgin 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 is present. (1) One of the causes of low back pain is lumbar hyperlordosis (sway back). A type of therapeutic exercise known as Perez-Olmedo revealed improvement in 60% of youths with hyperlordosis. (2) Connected Chiropractic checks for such causes and has just the exercise to address the issue.

Elgin NECK PAIN

Neck pain patients experience less neck pain and improved dysfunction neck posture and range of motion with thoracic spine manipulation. The relief lasts up to a half-year post-treatment. (3) This goes to show that spinal manipulation is an essential component in Elgin pain relief treatment plans. Connected Chiropractic is excellent at arranging for our Elgin chiropractic patients!

Elgin BACK PAIN

Chronic low back pain patients with weak stomach muscles were cared for with abdominoplasty (a “tummy tuck”).  This tightens and stabilizes the ab muscles by making the muscles work better and increase intraabdominal pressure to make them better spine stabilizers. Such abdominal strengthening should be considered as an option for patients with weak abs and intractable low back pain who have been unsuccessful with conservative management. (4) Connected Chiropractic can offer you some individualized exercises that will do the trick 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 kept at these programs which both proved useful in improving claudication measures similar to a standard supervised exercise program. Such exercise appears more successful in increasing daily activity in the community setting than supervised exercise. (5) If you are one of those Connected Chiropractic is ready to be your community!

Elgin NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN

Persistent non-specific low back pain drives some Elgin back pain sufferers mad…with good reason! Connected Chiropractic gets it! Compared with slight or other interventions Pilates is a great option to try to reduce back pain and ease disability. (7)

Elgin POST-SURGICAL BACK PAIN

Even after back surgery, exercise eases pain. Aerobic exercise beginning one month after first time single-level lumbar microdiscectomy resulted in a more distinct functional improvement than home exercise.
