Glute Strengthening Plus Chiropractic Eases Back Pain
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 Richmond chiropractor at Johnson Chiropractic wonder how to get back pain patients to do suggested exercises. After all, these exercises help back pain sufferers get stronger in addition to decrease and prevent back pain! The back muscles and gluteus muscles and hamstrings get greater. Patients ponder why the chiropractor suggests exercises when all they desired was for the chiropractor to correct the back pain problem. What a dilemma! Both the Richmond chiropractor and Richmond chiropractic patient have the same goal - pain relief – but their beliefs, experiences and expectations vary. (1) That’s how it is. Research shows this. Clinical experience shows this. When patients admit this and their chiropractors admit this, everyone then works together to relieve Richmond back pain, prevent future pain, and strengthen muscle. Let us do that!
EXERCISE GUIDELINES TO REDUCE AND PREVENT BACK PAIN AND NECK PAIN
Guidelines for what to do with back pain and neck pain are established. Exercise is amid 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 among these guidelines by the Global Spine Care Initiative. (2) Johnson Chiropractic pays attention to these in caring for Richmond back pain.
BACK PAIN BENEFITS FROM STRONG GLUTEAL MUSCLES
Patients with low back pain are more likely to be less active. Pain influences 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 report that the gluteus maximus cross-sectional area is reduced in low back pain sufferers, especially in women. (3) For Richmond chiropractic back pain patients facing constant lumbopelvic pain and test positive for sacroiliac joint dysfunction, performing gluteus maximus strengthening exercises is beneficial. Patients who did exercise 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 activate the gluteus maximus muscles, erector spinae and hamstrings more deliverately during exercise, researchers devised a unique laser pointer system that permitted the exercise participants to visualize their muscle usage. This improved their form. (6) Let your Richmond chiropractor be your laser pointer! Consider using the advised tips for how to exercise the right way.
