Relieving Exercise for St Peters Back Pain Relief
“Exercise? But my neck (or back) hurts!”
Old Mill Chiropractic hears you! Old Mill Chiropractic knows your back hurts. Many St Peters chiropractic patients come for just that reason: St Peters back pain. Back/Neck pain relief - whether because of St Peters spinal stenosis or a St Peters disc herniation whether it is in the back/neck only or goes down the leg/arm and into the foot/hand - is possible via our joint effort: St Peters chiropractic care including spinal manipulation and exercise.
St Peters SPINAL STENOSIS AND LEG PAIN
Low back pain patients with spinal stenosis and leg pain show decreased cross sectional area of the spinal extensor muscles and fat infiltration on MRI. What does that mean? There is a a loss of muscle power in the low back when pain is present. (1) One of the causes of low back pain is lumbar hyperlordosis (sway back). A type of therapeutic exercise known as Perez-Olmedo showed improvement in 60% of youths with hyperlordosis. (2) Old Mill Chiropractic checks for such causes and has just the exercise to address the issue.
St Peters NECK PAIN
Neck pain patients experience less neck pain and improved dysfunction neck posture and range of motion with thoracic spine manipulation. The relief lasts up to 6 months post-treatment. (3) This just shows that spinal manipulation is an essential part in St Peters pain relief treatment plans. Old Mill Chiropractic is experienced at setting these up for our St Peters chiropractic patients!
St Peters BACK PAIN
Chronic low back pain patients with marked lower abdominal wall muscular laxity were cared for with abdominoplasty (a “tummy tuck”). This produces a spine-stabilizing effect by tightening the muscles increasing intraabdominal pressure and increasing the efficiency of these muscles to make them better spine stabilizers. Such abdominal strengthening should be considered as an option for patients with weak ab muscles and intractable low back pain who have been unsuccessful with conservative management. (4) Old Mill Chiropractic can offer you some individualized exercises that will be just right for you before resorting to a surgery!
INTERMITTENT CLAUDICATION (cramp-like pain in the legs upon exercise like walking)
Peripheral artery disease patients with intermittent claudication were treated with a home-based exercise program a supervised exercise program and usual-care control. Both exercise programs had patients exercise with a step activity monitor for 12 weeks. The patients kept at these programs which both proved useful in improving claudication measures similar to a standard supervised exercise program. Such exercise appears more effective in increasing daily activity in the community setting than supervised exercise. (5) If you are one of those Old Mill Chiropractic is ready to be your community!
St Peters NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Persistent non-specific low back pain drives some St Peters back pain sufferers mad…with good reason! Old Mill Chiropractic gets it! Compared with minimal or other interventions Pilates is a good alternative to try to reduce back pain and improve disability. (7)
St Peters POST-SURGICAL BACK PAIN
Even after back surgery, exercise helps. Aerobic exercise starting one month after first time single-level lumbar microdiscectomy resulted in a more pronounced functional improvement than home exercise. (8) Whatever it takes to help reduce back pain is the important factor. Listen in to a PODCAST that shares how Cox Technic helps relieve post-surgical back pain.
