McHenry Exercise Helps with Back Pain Relief and Strength
“Doc, what type of exercise do you think would help?”
“The kind that you will do!”
There is some wit in that response, but it’s true, also. Exercise that you’ll do is the most valuable exercise of all! Whether you experience McHenry neck pain or McHenry back pain, strengthening exercise comes in handy. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is ready to help you find exercise you will do and exercise that will help you.
STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING EXERCISE HELPS
General strength and conditioning exercise helps chronic low back pain patients, especially in terms of pain intensity relief. Comparing general strength and conditioning exercise to motor control exercise with manual therapy made known that the general exercise was more apt to deliver a more varied range of treatment outcomes. In particular, the general exercise improved trunk endurance, leg muscle strength and endurance, disability, multifidus muscle volume, and fear of moving for chronic low back pain patients. (1) A Cochrane Review of published medical literature revealed that motor control exercise is more efficient in reducing chronic low back pain than minimal intervention, but, alone, motor control exercise doesn’t show itself to be better than other exercise or manual therapy for pain relief. (2) What’s that mean? General strength and conditioning exercise is advantageous for pain reduction by boosting the overall body condition. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic helps McHenry back pain patients set up an exercise practice that works for them to get the most in pain reduction and improve strength.
EXERCISE AND MANIPULATION
OrthoIllinois Chiropractic also aims to maximize back pain reduction and strength improvement by blending exercise with chiropractic treatment. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic uses The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to enhance such clinical outcomes. A new report states that blending manipulative treatment with exercise decreased pain and improved functional disability more than exercise by itself for non-specific neck pain sufferers. (3) Together, your McHenry chiropractor and you will figure out the proper exercises and the appropriate exercise routine to complement your McHenry chiropractic treatment plan to get you feeling the best you can!
