Exercise is good and beneficial. It goes hand-in-hand with chiropractic care of spine pain conditions of all sorts. Exercise also allows the patient to take control of their pain relief. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc incorporates exercise into the chiropractic treatment plan for all our Fort Wayne patients to get them back to enjoying the quality of life they want.
Weak back muscles don’t allow fluid spinal motion in low back pain patients. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc knows this isn’t good for our Fort Wayne back pain patients! What makes these muscles weak? Fat. With back pain comes more fat infiltration into the back muscles, muscles like the lumbar multifidus muscles which greatly influence the range of motion in lumbar spine. Fattier multifidi, less lumbar flexion. (1)
One article shares that doing a little exercise does a lot! Muscle strengthening activity performed just two days a week lowers the odds of low back pain. (And this article, as a side note, suggests that smoking is also a powerful factor in your risk of getting back pain. It’s best not to smoke.) (2) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc presents simple exercises you can do in just a few minutes from the comfort of your own bedroom if you like! You’ll notice the difference these make!
Chronic nonspecific low back pain sufferers gain from exercises like the lumbopelvic core stabilization exercises by positively influencing the pain perception by increasing your pain threshold and reducing your pain intensity. (3) Such exercises aren’t hard; they’re just effective! Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc will who you how to do them so you can experience the best possible back pain relief. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is with you, our Fort Wayne back pain patient, through your whole course of healing with as much support as you need.
Back school is an extra such support. Back school and manipulation/mobilization are standards of care for working with chronic nonspecific low back pain. These two approaches are suggested over many other approaches. (4) Cox Technic, an evidence based system of spine care, is spinal manipulation that Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc chooses to use.
The chiropractic treatment plan is enhanced when back school is added to the overall back pain rehabilitation plan. How? Back school nurtures self-management, gives control back to the patient to take care of him/herself. (5) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc tries to educate our back pain patients as to how and why their backs hurt and how to prevent or at least diminish the chances of future occurrences. A survey of patients who attended a back school in a chiropractor’s office showed 95% satisfaction with having gone to the course and 100% support of the doctor’s giving it.
