Back pain becomes the focus when it
occurs. The term
‘back pain’ is quite general though as back pain arises
from the combined contributions of muscles, nerves, bones, and
more. Low back muscles may be frail and/or unstable making
them less useful in supporting the spine. Exercise continued to
show just how beneficial it is in managing
spinal instability associated with Severna Park
back pain. Back And Neck Care Center endoreses
exercise as something a back pain sufferer can do to help him/herself.
SPINAL INSTABILITY AND BALANCE
Instability impacts balance. Back pain
sufferers’ troubled balance may result from badly
coordinated neuromuscular control and altered spine stability. A recent
study contrasted 3 groups: subacute non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) sufferers with
lumbar instability, those who don’t have instability, and healthy
subjects. Sufferers with lumbar spine instability demonstrated
more issues with balance control, proprioception,
fear of movement, increased pain, and functional ability than those
without such instability. (1) Back And Neck Care Center tests
for instability in our Severna Park back pain patients and creates
a Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management treatment plan that encompasses
pain relieving spinal manipulation, nutrition, and exercise.
EXERCISE FOR SPINAL INSTABILITY AND BALANCE IMPROVEMENT
Exercise is a usual intervention for low back
pain patients whatever the treatment plan. For
subacute NSLBP sufferers, exercise is valuable. Not long ago, two versions
of exercise were compared: core stabilization and strengthening
exercise. Four weeks of training
for 30 minutes a session three times a week showed that
core stabilization produced significantly more improvement than
strengthening. Core stabilization improved proprioception,
balance (as shown by single leg standing with eyes open and
closed on stable and unstable surfaces), thickened muscles
of the transverse abdominis and lumbar multifidus, reduced
functional disability, and decreased fear of movement. Bonuses
affiliated with both types of exercise: no adverse effects AND pain relief. (2) Back And Neck Care Center is always
concerned about balance issues in our chiropractic patients.
Exercise that improves Severna Park balance is so important.
