Lax muscles reduce motion in low back pain patients. Satterwhite Chiropractic knows this isn’t good for our Oxford back pain patients! What makes these muscles weak? Fat. With back pain comes more fat infiltration into the back muscles, muscles like the lumbar multifidus muscles which greatly influence the range of motion in lumbar spine. Fattier multifidi, less lumbar flexion. (1)
Researchers find that doing a little exercise does a lot! Muscle strengthening activity done just two days a week reduces the odds of low back pain. (And this article, as a side note, shares that smoking is also a powerful factor in your risk of getting back pain. It’s best not to smoke.)

Chronic nonspecific low back pain sufferers gain from exercises like the lumbopelvic core stabilization exercises by positively affecting the pain perception by improving your pain threshold and dropping your pain intensity.

Back school is another such support. Back school and manipulation/mobilization are standards of care for handling chronic nonspecific low back pain. These two approaches are suggested over many other types of care. (4) Satterwhite Chiropractic uses spinal manipulation in the form of Cox Technic, a chiropractic evidence based system of spine care.
Adding back school to the chiropractic treatment plan enriches the positives of back pain rehabilitation. How? Back school fosters self-management, gives control back to the patient to help him/herself.

A survey of patients who attended a back school in a chiropractor’s office showed 95% satisfaction with having gone to the course and 100% support of the doctor’s presenting it.
