Effective Manchester Back Pain Exercise: Bird Dog
Exercise and back pain: what a pair! Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries individualizes the suitable back pain exercises for each Manchester back pain sufferer visiting Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries to maximize back pain relief, bolster the supporting muscles like the erector spinae and multifidus, and reclaim function. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries also tries to find exercises that are easy, effective in a variety of ways like the “bird dog” move!
INDIVIDUALIZED EXERCISE BASED ON YOUR SPINE
Chronic low back pain patients are not all made in the same way. There are many factors that impact their back pain situation. Each chronic low back pain sufferer must be considered individually as your Manchester chiropractor always tries to do. It’s well-known that back muscle function differs from one chronic low back pain sufferer to another. Variations can be found via a thorough examination which Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries does quite well. The exam discoveries help shape an individual treatment plan with individualized exercise recommendations. (1) Be confident that you will be treated like the individual you are at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries!
WHICH EXERCISE FOR WHICH MUSCLE?
Exercise is a common suggestion for back pain patients…and for good reason. Muscles support the body and spine. A review of published research on the effectiveness of exercise found 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 improved pain and functional limitations outcomes. (2) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries thinks our Manchester chiropractic patients would concur 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 as well as lost productivity, are valuable to pursue 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, but they 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 starting 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. Do this 10 times on each side. (3,4) Talk with Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries before starting any exercise though to be sure it’s the right one for you!
