Ashburn and Herndon Back Pain and Associated Spinal Instability Helped by Exercise to Improve Balance and More
Back pain turns into the main focus when it happens. 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 leacing them less useful in supporting the spine. Exercise continued to show its benefit in addressing spinal instability associated with Ashburn and Herndon back pain. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn highly recommends exercise as something a back pain sufferer can do to help him/herself.
SPINAL INSTABILITY AND BALANCE
Instability affects balance. Back pain sufferers’ poor balance may be caused by poorly coordinated neuromuscular control and altered spine stability. A recent study contrasted 3 groups: subacute non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) sufferers with lumbar instability, those who don’t have instability, and healthy subjects. Sufferers with lumbar spine instability demonstrated more issues with balance control, proprioception, fear of movement, increased pain, and functional ability than sufferers who don’t have such instability. (1) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn checks for instability in our Ashburn and Herndon back pain patients and creates a Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management treatment plan that involves pain relieving spinal manipulation, nutrition, and exercise.
EXERCISE FOR SPINAL INSTABILITY AND BALANCE IMPROVEMENT
Exercise is a usual intervention for low back pain patients whatever the treatment plan. For subacute NSLBP sufferers, exercise is a benefit. Recently, two types 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 produced significantly more improvement than strengthening. Core stabilization improved proprioception, balance (as demonstrated by single leg standing with eyes open and closed on stable and unstable surfaces), muscle thickness of the transverse abdominis and lumbar multifidus, reduced functional disability, and decreased fear of movement. Bonuses of either exercise: no adverse effects AND pain relief. (2) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is always concerned about balance issues in our chiropractic patients. Exercise that improves Ashburn and Herndon balance is so important.
