Effective Largo Back Pain Exercise: Bird Dog
Exercise for back pain: a common recommendation with good reason. Hollstrom & Associates Inc individualizes the most appropriate back pain exercises for each Largo back pain sufferer visiting Hollstrom & Associates Inc to relieve pain best, strengthen the supporting muscles like the erector spinae and multifidus, and regain function. Hollstrom & Associates Inc also gives every effort to find exercises that are easy, effective in a variety of ways like the “bird dog” move!
PERSONALIZED EXERCISE BASED ON YOUR SPINE
Chronic low back pain patients are not created equally. There are numerous factors that impact their back pain status. Each chronic low back pain sufferer must be evaluated individually as your Largo chiropractor strives to do. It’s a known fact that back muscle function varies from one chronic low back pain sufferer to another. Variations can be found via a thorough examination which Hollstrom & Associates Inc does quite well. The exam discoveries help shape an individual treatment plan with individualized exercise recommendations. (1) Be confident that you will be treated like the individual you are at Hollstrom & Associates Inc!
WHICH EXERCISE FOR WHICH MUSCLE?
Exercise is a regular recommendation for back pain patients…and with good reason. Muscles support the body and spine. A review of published research on the usefulness of exercise revealed that exercise was likely effective for chronic low back pain compared to no treatment, placebo, advice or education alone, electrotherapy, or usual care. Its effect was small for function, but it improved pain and functional limitations outcomes. (2) Hollstrom & Associates Inc thinks our Largo chiropractic patients would concur that benefits of any sort like this for a condition that is reported to be the top cause of disability globally for the past three decades or so, costing much in direct healthcare expense as well as lost productivity, are worth seeking 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 grow weak with back pain, but they are so essential for stability. Bird-dog (aka quadruped opposite arm/leg) is a 3-way effective exercise: toning the erector spinae while strengthening the multifidus and the core as well. Start this by starting on hands and knees, stretching the left leg and right arm out parallel to the floor. Hold this for a couple seconds and repeat on the other side. Do this 10 times on each side.
