EXERCISE EFFICACY FOR LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain patients do well with therapeutic exercise in strengthening trunk muscles and enhancing spine stability. There are many exercise options obtainable from core stabilization and strengthening to motor control exercises and muscle strengthening. In a study of subacute nonspecific low back pain sufferers, core stabilization exercises were better than stabilization exercises regarding proprioception, balance, muscle (transverse abdoiminis, lumbar multifidus) thickness, decreasing patients’ fear of movement, and functional disability. (1) Another study reported core stabilization exercise to lessen pain, enhance function, and increase core strength in nonspecific low back pain patients. (2) Spine stabilization exercises and flexion exercises performed24 daily both increased multifidus muscle thickness in patients with chronic low back pain and spondylolisthesis . (3) Advice: Pick one that you like to do (after we discuss it!)! Your back pain will thank you.
EXERCISE FOR NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Despite a diagnosis of non-specific low back pain that may frustrate you (We all want to know what causes our pain!), exercise offers hope of its management. A recent study reported that exercise training in-person and via multimedia/video were good for training back pain patients to correctly perform the more complex motor control exercises. (4) Core exercises along with hip muscle strengthening effectively improved physical activity and function for nonspecific low back pain patients. (5) New York City back pain patients wanting some pain relief are urged to perform exercises as part of an overall chiropractic treatment plan.
EXERCISE WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION
Combining efforts proposes additional hope for back pain patients despite the diagnosis. One case report of a 24-year-old patient with a recurrent disc herniation and pain after back surgery laminectomy shared that flexion distraction spinal manipulation along with rehab exercise (in this case: bird dog and core stabilization) found relief and improvement. (6) Managing back pain in patients who have undergone back surgery (laminectomy, fusion, discectomy) like the above patient did, clinicians receiving spinal manipulation tend toward using gentler non-manual-thrust spinal manipulation while chiropractors tended to use manual thrust. Spinal manipulation was used less than a year after back surgery in 66% of cases in this study. Treating healthcare providers utilized spinal manipulation with 85% of patients who experienced persistent back pain after spine surgery.
