Effective Montreal Back Pain Exercise: Bird Dog
Exercise and back pain: what a pair! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic individualizes the most appropriate back pain exercises for each Montreal back pain sufferer visiting Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic to maximize back pain relief, boost the supporting muscles like the erector spinae and multifidus, and reclaim function. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic also tries to find exercises that are easy, effective in a variety of ways like the “bird dog” move!
INDIVIDUALIZED EXERCISE BASED ON YOUR SPINE
Chronic low back pain patients are not created equally. There are many factors that contribute to their back pain state. Each chronic low back pain sufferer must be considered individually as your Montreal chiropractor strives to do. It’s well-known that back muscle function varies from a chronic low back pain sufferer to another. Differences can be found via a thorough examination which Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic does quite well. The exam discoveries help mold a personalized treatment plan with personalized exercise recommendations. (1) Be confident that you will be treated like the individual you are at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic!
WHICH EXERCISE FOR WHICH MUSCLE?
Exercise is a common prescription for back pain patients…and with good reason. Muscles support the body and spine. A review of published research on the effectiveness of exercise found that exercise was likely effective for chronic low back pain in comparison to no treatment, placebo, advice or education alone, electrotherapy, or usual care. Its impact was limited for function, but it enhanced pain and functional limitations outcomes. (2) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic believes our Montreal chiropractic patients would be in agreement that benefits of any sort like this for a condition that is reported to be the foremost cause of disability around the world for the past three decades or so, costing much in direct healthcare expense and lost productivity, are worth pursuing with a little exercise. Start with one exercise (like the following one!) and build up to the basic 10 for back pain.
ONE SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE EXERCISE: BIRD DOG
Erector spinae and multifidi muscles often weaken with back pain yet are so essential for stability. Bird-dog (aka quadruped opposite arm/leg) is a 3-way effective exercise: toning the erector spinae and strengthening both the core and the multifidus. Start this by getting on all fours: knees and hands, stretching the left leg and right arm out level with the floor. Hold this for a couple seconds and repeat on the other side. Perform this 10 times on each side. (3,4) Have a chat with Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic before starting any exercise though to be sure it’s the right one for you!
