Effective Tonawanda Back Pain Exercise: Bird Dog

November 07, 2023

Exercise for back pain: a common suggestion with good reason. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation individualizes the proper back pain exercises for each Tonawanda back pain sufferer visiting Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation to maximize back pain relief, strengthen the supporting muscles like the erector spinae and multifidus, and recoup function. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation also tries to find exercises that are simple, effective in numerous ways like the “bird dog” move!

PERSONALIZED EXERCISE BASED ON YOUR SPINE

Chronic low back pain patients are not created equally. There are many factors that contribute to their back pain status. Each chronic low back pain sufferer must be evaluated individually as your Tonawanda chiropractor always tries to do. It’s well-known that back muscle function differs from one chronic low back pain sufferer to another. Variations can be found via a thorough examination which Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is quite good at! The exam discoveries help create an individual treatment plan with individualized exercise recommendations. (1) Be confident that you will be treated like the individual you are at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation!

WHICH EXERCISE FOR WHICH MUSCLE?

Exercise is a common prescription for back pain patients…and for good reason. Muscles support the body and spine. A review of published research on the effectiveness 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 effect was small for function, but it enhanced pain and functional limitations outcomes. (2) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation believes our Tonawanda chiropractic patients would be in agreement that benefits of any type like this for a condition that is reportedly the leading cause of disability globally for the past three decades or so, costing a lot in direct healthcare expense in addition to lost productivity, are worth seeking with some 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 critical 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 hands and knees, stretching the left leg and right arm out level with the floor. Hold this for a couple seconds and repeat on the other side. Do this 10 times on each side.
