Stabilization. Balance. Equilibrium. Steadiness.
We all strive for balance in our lives and in our spines. How do
we get it? In life, we talk, eat, sleep, read, laugh, etc.! In our spines, we exercise. Most Chiropractic Clinic knows that we all of our Murfreesboro
lower back pain patients to do some exercise, however little or much as each is willing. It works. It helps!
During lower back exercise discussions at Most Chiropractic Clinic,
the question often arises: “Which exercise is best?” And your wise
Murfreesboro chiropractor knows why:
If there is one, great, effective one, that’s the one you want to do and
be done with it! Sorry! We’re still searching for that magic exercise, too.
However, some new lower back exercise research points to stabilization
exercises as being effective. Read on…
The latest study points out that balance exercises beat
out McKenzie exercises for being more effective. How? The stabilization
exercises reportedly improve the intensity of pain and the function/disability score
for chronic lower back pain patients. They also increase the thickness of the transverse
abdominis muscle that supports the spine. (1) Great potential outcomes
for our Murfreesboro lower back pain patients who are willing to exercise
a bit: a chance to get back to life
activities and build muscle!
Another study reports on the outcomes of 15 different studies.
This review found that lower back pain patients are typically given one of two
types of exercise programs: a general exercise program with or without a motor
control exercise component or a motor control exercise program with general
exercise. Which is more beneficial? Both
types of exercise interventions appear effective at reducing pain or disability
in patients with lower back pain. It may not be necessary to give lower back pain
patients motor control exercises though. (2)
