Richmond Exercise Helps with Back Pain Relief and Strength
“Doc, what type of exercise do you think would help?”
“The kind that you will do!”
There is some humor in that answer, but there is some truth in it, too. Exercise that you will do is the most useful exercise of all! Whether you experience Richmond neck pain or Richmond back pain, strengthening exercise helps. Johnson Chiropractic is here to help you find exercise you will do and exercise that will help you.
STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING EXERCISE HELPS
General strength and conditioning exercise helps chronic low back pain patients, particularly in terms of pain intensity relief. Comparing general strength and conditioning exercise to motor control exercise with manual therapy disclosed that the general exercise was more apt to provide a more assorted range of treatment outcomes. In particular, the general exercise bettered trunk endurance, leg muscle strength and endurance, disability, multifidus muscle volume, and fear of doing daily activities for patients with chronic low back pain. (1) A Cochrane Review of published medical literature showed that motor control exercise is more successful in reducing chronic low back pain than minimal intervention, but, alone, motor control exercise does not 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 advantageous to decrease pain by boosting the overall body condition. Johnson Chiropractic helps Richmond back pain patients set up an exercise practice that works for them to get the most in pain reduction and increase strength.
EXERCISE AND MANIPULATION
Johnson Chiropractic also works to maximize back pain reduction and strength improvement by blending exercise with chiropractic treatment. Johnson Chiropractic uses The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to boost such clinical outcomes. A new report says that blending manipulative treatment with exercise decreased pain and improved functional disability more than exercise by itself for non-specific neck pain sufferers.
