Exercise for back
pain: a common recommendation with good reason.
Vancouver Disc Centers individualizes the proper back pain exercises for each Vancouver back pain
sufferer visiting Vancouver Disc Centers to relieve pain
best, strengthen the supporting muscles like the erector
spinae and multifidus, and recoup function. Vancouver Disc Centers
also gives every effort to find exercises that are easy,
effective in multiple ways like the “bird dog” move!
INDIVIDUALIZED EXERCISE BASED ON YOUR
SPINE
Chronic low back pain patients are not all made in the
same way. There are numerous factors that impact their back pain state. Each chronic low back pain
sufferer must be evaluated individually as your
Vancouver chiropractor always tries to do. It’s well-known that back muscle function varies from one chronic
low back pain sufferer to another. Variations
can be found from a thorough examination which Vancouver Disc Centers does quite well. The exam discoveries help create
a personalized treatment plan with personalized exercise recommendations. (1) Know with confidence that you are

WHICH EXERCISE FOR WHICH MUSCLE?
Exercise is a common suggestion
for back pain patients…and with good reason. Muscles support the body
and spine. A review of published research on the usefulness
of exercise found 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 limited
for function, but it enhanced pain and functional limitations
outcomes. (2) Vancouver Disc Centers thinks our Vancouver
chiropractic patients would agree that benefits of
any type like this for a condition that is said
to be the leading cause of disability globally for the past three decades or so, costing much in
direct healthcare expense in addition to 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 yet are so essential
for stability. Bird-dog (aka quadruped
opposite arm/leg) is a 3-way effective exercise: toning the erector spinae while
strengthening the multifidus and the core as well. Start this by starting on all fours: knees and
hands, stretching the left leg and right arm out level with the floor. Hold this for a couple seconds and repeat
on the other side. Perform this 10 times on each side. (3,4) Talk with Vancouver Disc Centers before beginning any exercise
though to be sure it’s appropriate for you!
