January 2019 Oxford Chiropractic Healthy News: Walking, Spinal Manipulation, & Exercise

 

The ability to walk is important for Oxford lifestyle. How many times a day do you think about walking? How many times are you grateful for being able to walk? Most Oxford folks do not give walking a second thought until we or a Oxford loved one can not do it or isn’t able do it as effortlessly as we did at one time. Chronic non-specific low back pain is apt to affect Oxford back pain patients’ motor control while walking. It’s suspected that the erector spinae are working strenuously in these patients, leading to a stiff lumbar-pelvic region and more difficult time walking.
