Relieving Exercise for McHenry Back Pain Relief
“Exercise? But my neck (or back) hurts!”
OrthoIllinois Chiropractic hears you! OrthoIllinois Chiropractic knows your back hurts. Many McHenry chiropractic patients come for just that reason: McHenry back pain. Back/Neck pain relief - whether due to McHenry spinal stenosis or a McHenry disc herniation whether it is in the back/neck only or goes down the leg/arm and into the foot/hand - is possible via our combined effort: McHenry chiropractic care including spinal manipulation and exercise.
McHenry SPINAL STENOSIS AND LEG PAIN
Low back pain patients with spinal stenosis and leg pain have more fatty areas and less extensor muscles on MRI. What does that mean? They have a loss of muscle power in the low back when pain is present. (1) One of the causes of low back pain is lumbar hyperlordosis (sway back). A type of therapeutic exercise known as Perez-Olmedo revealed improvement in 60% of youths with hyperlordosis. (2) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic checks for such causes and has just the exercise to tackle the issue.
McHenry NECK PAIN
Neck pain patients experience less neck pain and improved dysfunction neck posture and range of motion with thoracic spine manipulation. The relief continues for up to 6 months later. (3) This goes to show that spinal manipulation is an important component in McHenry pain relief treatment plans. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is excellent at setting these up for our McHenry chiropractic patients!
McHenry BACK PAIN
Chronic low back pain patients with weak stomach muscles were treated with abdominoplasty (a “tummy tuck”). This tightens and stabilizes the ab muscles by making the muscles work better and increase intraabdominal pressure to make them better spine stabilizers. Such abdominal strengthening should be considered as an option for patients with weak abs and stubborn low back pain who have been unsuccessful with conservative management. (4) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic can recommend you some specific exercises that will be just right for you before resorting to a surgery!
INTERMITTENT CLAUDICATION (cramp-like pain in the legs upon exercise like walking)
Peripheral artery disease patients with intermittent claudication were cared for with a home-based exercise program a supervised exercise program and usual-care control. Both exercise programs had patients exercise with a step activity monitor for 12 weeks. The patients stuck with these programs which both proved effective in improving claudication measures similar to a standard supervised exercise program. Such exercise seems to be more successful in increasing daily activity in the community setting than supervised exercise. (5) If you are one of those OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is ready to be your community!
McHenry NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Persistent non-specific low back pain drives some McHenry back pain sufferers mad…with good reason! OrthoIllinois Chiropractic gets it! Compared with slight or other interventions Pilates is a good alternative to try to reduce back pain and ease disability. (7)
McHenry POST-SURGICAL BACK PAIN
Even after back surgery, exercise helps. Aerobic exercise commencing one month after first time single-level lumbar microdiscectomy brought about a more distinct functional improvement than home exercise. (8) Whatever it takes to help decrease back pain is the important factor. Listen in to a PODCAST that shares how Cox Technic helps relieve post-surgical back pain.
