New York City Back Pain and Associated Spinal Instability Helped by Exercise to Improve Balance and More

January 04, 2022

Back pain becomes the focus when it rears its head. The term ‘back pain’ is quite generic though as back pain arises from the united contributions of muscles, nerves, bones, etc. Low back muscles may be frail and/or unstable making them less useful in supporting the spine. Exercise continued to show just how beneficial it is in managing spinal instability associated with New York City back pain. Rosenberg Wellness Center endoreses exercise as something a back pain sufferer can do to help him/herself.

SPINAL INSTABILITY AND BALANCE

Instability impacts balance. Back pain sufferers’ poor balance may result from poorly coordinated neuromuscular control and altered spine stability. A new study contrasted 3 groups:  subacute non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) sufferers with lumbar instability, those without instability, and healthy subjects. Those with lumbar spine instability demonstrated more problems with balance control, proprioception, fear of movement, increased pain, and functional ability than sufferers without such instability. (1) Rosenberg Wellness Center checks for instability in our New York City back pain patients and designs a Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management  treatment plan that encompasses pain relieving spinal manipulation, nutrition, and exercise.

EXERCISE FOR SPINAL INSTABILITY AND BALANCE IMPROVEMENT

Exercise is a common intervention for low back pain patients no matter the treatment plan. For subacute NSLBP sufferers, exercise is valuable. Recently, two versions of exercise were compared: core stabilization and strengthening exercise. Four weeks of training for 30 minutes a session three times a week demonstrated that core stabilization generated significantly more improvement than strengthening. Core stabilization enhanced proprioception, balance (as demonstrated by single leg standing with eyes open and closed on stable and unstable surfaces), thickened muscles of the transverse abdominis and lumbar multifidus, reduced functional disability, and decreased fear of movement. Bonuses of either exercise: no unpleasant side-effects AND pain relief. (2) Rosenberg Wellness Center is always checking for balance issues in our chiropractic patients. Exercise that helps with New York City balance is so vital.
