Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is your Montreal exercise coach as well as your chiropractor who delivers spinal manipulation : the best of both realms!
EXERCISE EFFICACY FOR LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain patients get results with therapeutic exercise in strengthening trunk muscles and enhancing spine stability. There are many exercise options available from core stabilization and strengthening to motor control exercises and muscle strengthening. In a study of subacute nonspecific low back pain sufferers, core stabilization exercises proved better than stabilization exercises in terms of proprioception, balance, muscle (transverse abdoiminis, lumbar multifidus) thickness, reducing patients’ fear of movement, and functional disability. (1) Another study reported core stabilization exercise to decrease pain, improve function, and boost core strength in nonspecific low back pain patients. (2) Spine stabilization exercises and flexion exercises performed24 daily equally benefited multifidus muscle thickness in patients with chronic low back pain and spondylolisthesis . (3) Advice: Pick one that you are most likely to do (after we discuss it!)! Your back pain will appreciate it.
EXERCISE FOR NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Despite a diagnosis of non-specific low back pain that may frustrate you (We all want to understand what lies below our pain!), exercise offers hope of its management. A new study found that exercise training in-person and via multimedia/video were effective in training back pain patients to appropriately do the more complex motor control exercises. (4) Core exercises along with hip muscle strengthening effectively improved physical activity and function for nonspecific low back pain patients. (5) Montreal back pain patients seeking some pain relief are urged to do exercises as part of their overall chiropractic treatment plan.
EXERCISE WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION
Combining efforts offers even more hope for back pain patients regardless of diagnosis. One case report of a 24-year-old patient with a recurrent disc herniation and pain after back surgery laminectomy shared that flexion distraction spinal manipulation along with rehab exercise (in this case: bird dog and core stabilization) found relief and improvement. (6) In caring for back pain in patients who have already had back surgery (laminectomy, fusion, discectomy) like the above patient did, clinicians receiving spinal manipulation tend toward using gentler non-manual-thrust spinal manipulation while chiropractors tended to use manual thrust. Spinal manipulation was applied less than 12 months after back surgery in 66% of cases in this study. Treating healthcare providers used spinal manipulation with 85% of patients who had persistent back pain after spine surgery. (7) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic thoroughly examines and decides the gentlest treatment technique for you.
