Relieving Exercise for Oxford Back Pain Relief
“Exercise? But my neck (or back) hurts!”
Satterwhite Chiropractic hears you! Satterwhite Chiropractic knows your back hurts. Many Oxford chiropractic patients come for just that reason: Oxford back pain. Back/Neck pain relief - whether because of Oxford spinal stenosis or a Oxford disc herniation whether it’s in the back/neck only or extends down the leg/arm and into the foot/hand - is possible through our joint effort: Oxford chiropractic care including spinal manipulation and exercise.
Oxford 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? They have 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). One type of therapeutic exercise known as Perez-Olmedo showed improvement in 60% of youths with hyperlordosis. (2) Satterwhite Chiropractic looks for such causes and has just the exercise to address the issue.
Oxford NECK PAIN
Neck pain patients experience less neck pain and improved dysfunction neck posture and range of motion with thoracic spine manipulation. The relief continues for up to 6 months post-treatment. (3) This just shows that spinal manipulation is an important component in Oxford pain relief treatment plans. Satterwhite Chiropractic is experienced at arranging for our Oxford chiropractic patients!
Oxford BACK PAIN
Chronic low back pain patients with weak stomach muscles were treated with abdominoplasty (a “tummy tuck”). This tightens and stabilizes the ab muscles by making the muscles work better and increase intraabdominal pressure so that their effectiveness as spine stabilizers is increased. Such abdominal strengthening should be considered a way for patients with weak lower abdominal muscles and intractable low back pain who have been unsuccessful with conservative management. (4) Satterwhite Chiropractic can offer you some specific exercises that will do the trick 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 stuck with these programs which both proved useful in improving claudication measures comparable to a standard supervised exercise program. Such exercise seems to be more successful in increasing daily activity in the community setting than supervised exercise. (5) If you are one of those Satterwhite Chiropractic is prepared to be your community!
Oxford NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Persistent non-specific low back pain drives some Oxford back pain sufferers crazy…with good reason! Satterwhite Chiropractic gets it! Compared with minimal or other interventions Pilates is a good alternative to try to decrease back pain and improve disability. (7)
Oxford POST-SURGICAL BACK PAIN
Even after back surgery, exercise eases pain. Aerobic exercise commencing one month after first time single-level lumbar microdiscectomy brought about a more distinct 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.
