Are you tired of being told to do exercises for your lower back pain or neck pain by your New York City chiropractor? Of course! A lot of our New York City back pain and neck pain patients are. It's almost natural to ignore the need to do our spine exercises so that we can watch TV, study, have some fun with friends, etc. ANYTHING BUT HAVING TO DO THOSE CONFOUNDED BACK EXERCISES - TOO BORING!!! Well, you know what Rosenberg Wellness Center would tell you ("Do them!"), but what do the reports say about doing them?

Let's start by looking at the magnitude of lower back pain suffering and it existing as a worldwide health problem affecting up to 80% of adult population. Then, you'll see that basic care must be given to all of us in New York City and around the world to thwart back pain as well as treat it. Rosenberg Wellness Center's chiropractic services and exercises are important to deal with it physically while back school demonstrates effectiveness for people with chronic non-specific low back pain in managing the psychological factors that are often meshed in its development and maintenance.

To begin with, a study by Davarian et al shows that patients with chronic low back pain and clinical instability showed lower muscle exertion and higher or quicker "time to fatigue" compared to healthy subjects. Strength training of trunk extensor muscles can be thought of as part of the treatment protocol for chronic low back pain. (1) 

1. "Progressive Dynamic Spine Stabilization Exercise Protocols", when performed in the thoracic spine (the middle spine from the mid-shoulder area to the lower back), trigger improved postural stability which were designed for different spinal segments.
2. Thoracic spine exercises can be thought of a hidden source for improving overall postural stability, weight distribution, and somatosensory reactions, too. (2)

Then, a research study consisting of fifty patients with chronic non-specific lower back pain who were randomly allocated to a group:

• Treatment Group participated to an intensive, multidisciplinary Back School program.
• Control Group received medical assistance.

Well, you know how some of us elderly New York City folks, as we age, experience a feeling of imbalance and sometimes bump into walls. Well, a little New York City exercise may well reverse this imbalance trend. But joining proprioceptive-type exercises with a training class called “Back School” has great advantage for the chronic low back pain patient. This particular back pain analysis shows this to be true:

Significant improvements in terms of quality of life, disability and pain were reported in the treatment group patients.

These results suggest that Back School has positive effects physically and mentally. (3)

As you, the low back pain sufferer or friend or family of one, know: back pain may be disheartening. Therefore, Rosenberg Wellness Center understands the importance of teaching the lower back pain patient to avoid back pain triggers and encourages a beneficial home exercise program to correct the postural stability of the patient.

Pain relief is our goal. But Rosenberg Wellness Center strives to treat the whole patient with a combined approach of our non-surgical treatment with Cox Technic and patient education to alleviate low back pain and its other side-effects.
