Exercise Enhances Chiropractic Back Pain Relief Plan

Exercise is effective and helpful. It goes hand-in-hand with chiropractic care of spine pain conditions of all sorts. Exercise also allows the patient to take part in their healing. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic incorporates exercise into the chiropractic treatment plan for all our Montreal patients to get them back to enjoying the quality of life they want.

Lax muscles reduce motion in low back pain patients. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic knows this isn’t good for our Montreal 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 reduces the odds of low back pain. (And this article, as a side note, shares that smoking is also an influential factor in the equation of whether you get back pain or not.  Recommendation: Don’t smoke!) (2) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic offers simple exercises you can do in a short amount of time from the comfort of your own home if you like! They’ll make a big impact. You’ll see!

Chronic nonspecific low back pain sufferers benefit from exercises like the lumbopelvic core stabilization exercises by positively affecting the pain perception by improving your pain threshold and dropping your pain intensity. (3) These exercises are not difficult, but they do work. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic will share them with you so you can experience the best possible back pain relief. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is with you, our Montreal back pain patient, during your healing process with as much support as you need.

Back school is an additional 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 types of care. (4) Cox Technic, an evidence based system of spine care, is spinal manipulation that Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic chooses to use.

The chiropractic treatment plan is enhanced when back school is included in the overall back pain rehabilitation plan. How? Back school fosters self-management, gives control back to the patient to take care of him/herself. (5) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic tries to educate our back pain patients as to how and why their backs hurt and how to preclude or at least diminish the chances of future occurrences. One study of just how well back school is received by back pain patients is a study of those who went to a back school at a chiropractor’s office. Back pain patients stated 95% satisfaction with taking time to attend, and 100% said it was worth the doctor’s time to present it. (6) Montreal chiropractic patients at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic are some of the wisest and knowledgeable spine-informed people around!

Schedule a Montreal chiropractic appointment today. You’ll be well on your way to back pain relief. You can expect much at your first visit! Your chiropractic appointment will give you a firm grasp of what caused your pain and how you might avoid its aggravation in the future with exercise.
