Patient to the chiropractor: “Treat me so I don’t hurt.”

Chiropractor: “Be sure to do your exercises, so you won’t hurt.”

Chiropractors like your Manchester chiropractor at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries speculate how to get back pain patients to do recommended exercises. In any case, these exercises help back pain sufferers get stronger as well as reduce and prevent back pain! The back muscles and gluteus muscles and hamstrings get stronger. Patients speculate why the chiropractor recommends exercises since all they desired was for the chiropractor to fix the back pain problem. What a dilemma! Both the Manchester chiropractor and Manchester chiropractic patient have the same goal - pain relief – but their beliefs, experiences and expectations are different. (1) That’s how it is. Research shows this. Clinical experience shows this. When patients recognize this and their chiropractors recognize this, everyone then works together to relieve Manchester back pain, prevent future pain, and strengthen muscle. Let’s do that!

EXERCISE GUIDELINES TO LESSEN AND PREVENT BACK PAIN AND NECK PAIN

Guidelines for what to do with back pain and neck pain are published. Exercise is in the mix of the recommendations for the non-invasive pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies for treating acute and chronic low back pain and neck pain both without serious pathology and with radiculopathy. Spinal manipulation and manual therapy are also listed in these guidelines by the Global Spine Care Initiative. (2) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries carefully considers these in caring for Manchester back pain.

BACK PAIN BENEFITS FROM STRONG GLUTEAL MUSCLES

Patients with low back pain tend to be less active. Pain shapes that decision. Low back pain patients fear that activity may initiate pain, resulting in weakened muscles like the gluteus maximus. Prolonged immobilization or sedentariness prevents use of these muscles. In low back pain patients, a weak gluteus maximus is a common finding. Researchers document that the gluteus maximus cross-sectional area is reduced in low back pain sufferers, especially in women. (3) For Manchester chiropractic back pain patients feeling unrelenting lumbopelvic pain and test positive for sacroiliac joint dysfunction, doing gluteus maximus strengthening exercises is advantageous. Patients who did these found a decrease in pain and an improvement in gluteus maximum strength and function. (4) Doing both - exercise to strengthening the gluteus maximus muscles and lumbar segmental stabilization exercise – lessened low back pain disability significantly more and increased lumbar spine muscle strength and balance better than just lumbar segmental stabilization exercise alone. (5) To stimulate the gluteus maximus muscles, erector spinae and hamstrings more intentionally during exercise, researchers created a unique laser pointer system that permitted the exercise participants to visualize their muscle usage. This improved their form. (6) Let your Manchester chiropractor be your laser pointer! Consider using the proposed tips for how to exercise the right way.
