Effective New York City Back Pain Exercise: Bird Dog
Exercise for back pain: a common recommendation with good reason. Rosenberg Wellness Center personalizes the most appropriate back pain exercises for each New York City back pain sufferer visiting Rosenberg Wellness Center to maximize back pain relief, strengthen the supporting muscles like the erector spinae and multifidus, and reclaim function. Rosenberg Wellness Center also gives every effort to find exercises that are easy, effective in multiple ways like the “bird dog” movement!
PERSONALIZED EXERCISE BASED ON YOUR SPINE
Chronic low back pain patients are not all made in the same way. There are numerous factors that contribute to their back pain status. Each chronic low back pain sufferer must be considered individually as your New York City chiropractor always tries to do. It’s well-known that back muscle function differs from a chronic low back pain sufferer to another. Variations can be found via a thorough examination which Rosenberg Wellness Center is quite good at! The exam discoveries help shape a personalized treatment plan with personalized exercise recommendations. (1) Be confident that you will be treated like the individual you are at Rosenberg Wellness Center!
WHICH EXERCISE FOR WHICH MUSCLE?
Exercise is a frequent recommendation for back pain patients…and for good reason. Muscles support the body and spine. A review of published papers on the effectiveness of exercise revealed that exercise was likely effective for chronic low back pain compared to no treatment, placebo, advice or education alone, electrotherapy, or usual care. Its impact was small for function, but it improved pain and functional limitations outcomes. (2) Rosenberg Wellness Center believes our New York City chiropractic patients would concur that benefits of any type like this for a condition that is reportedly the top cause of disability around the world for the past three decades or so, costing much in direct healthcare expense and lost productivity, are valuable to pursue with a little exercise. Start with one exercise (like the following one!) and build up to the basic 10 for back pain.
ONE SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE EXERCISE: BIRD DOG
Erector spinae and multifidi muscles often grow weak with back pain, but they are so valuable for stability. Bird-dog (aka quadruped opposite arm/leg) is a 3-way effective exercise: toning the erector spinae and strengthening both the core and the multifidus. Start this by getting on hands and knees, stretching the left leg and right arm out parallel to the floor. Hold this for a couple seconds and repeat on the other side. Perform this 10 times on each side. (3,4) Have a chat with Rosenberg Wellness Center before beginning any exercise though to be sure it’s the right one for you!
