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 one study of subacute nonspecific low back pain sufferers, core stabilization exercises were better than stabilization exercises regarding proprioception, balance, muscle (transverse abdoiminis, lumbar multifidus) thickness, reducing patients’ fear of movement, and functional disability. (1) Another study stated core stabilization exercise to decrease pain, improve function, and increase core strength in nonspecific low back pain patients. (2) Spine stabilization exercises and flexion exercises performed24 daily both helped multifidus muscle thickness in patients with chronic low back pain and spondylolisthesis . (3) Advice: Pick one that you like to do (after we discuss it!)! Your back pain will thank you.
EXERCISE FOR NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Regardless of a diagnosis of non-specific low back pain being frustrating (We all want to know what causes our pain!), exercise offers hope of its management. A recent study found that exercise training in-person and via multimedia/video were good for training back pain patients to properly perform the more complex motor control exercises. (4) Core exercises with the addition of hip muscle strengthening effectively improved physical activity and function for nonspecific low back pain patients. (5) Largo back pain patients desiring some pain relief are urged to do exercises as part of an overall chiropractic treatment plan.
EXERCISE WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION
Combining efforts proposes 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 rehabilitative exercise (in this case: bird dog and core stabilization) got relief and improvement. (6) Managing back pain in patients who have undergone back surgery (laminectomy, fusion, discectomy) like the above patient did, clinicians using spinal manipulation are inclined to using gentler non-manual-thrust spinal manipulation while chiropractors leaned toward using manual thrust. Spinal manipulation was used less than a year after back surgery in 66% of cases in this study. Treating healthcare providers utilized spinal manipulation with 85% of patients who had persistent back pain after spine surgery.
