Just a short note on the current COVID-19. The CDC recommendations about best strategies to cope are good. Take care of yourself, EXERCISE, eat healthy, breathe, connect, and hope. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation suggests the same…and also suggests that you see your Tonawanda chiropractor for extra stabilization and balance!

Now, let’s consider exercise to not only stabilize YOU and your fellow Tonawanda chiropractic patients during times like these may provoking, but exercise to stabilize your spine while and following your Tonawanda back pain episodes.

STABILITY AND BALANCE AND BACK PAIN

Stability and balance go hand-in-hand. Stability alludes to how balance is controlled. Inhibited balance control is connected with reduced stability. Balance or rather a disruption of balance or the sense of stability is often observed in or reported by musculoskeletal pain patients who experience back pain and neck pain. Therefore, Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation observes each chiropractic patient carefully throughout their entire visit door to door. Observation is a valuable tool in the management of back pain and related leg pain, Tonawanda neck pain and any related arm pain. Researchers examined this topic of balance and its disruption, too. Recent studies described patients’ gait speed, their “timed up and go test” ability, step test and “sit-to-stand test.” Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is fond of these tests. Some of our Tonawanda chiropractic patients will wonder what we’re examining when we have them sit in a chair and stand up from the chair and time them! We chiropractors are a curious group! Tests like these reveal to your Tonawanda chiropractor a lot about your spinal condition. A recent analysis of such studies reported that manual therapy like spinal manipulation used at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation enhanced short-term stability measures. (1) Rest assured more studies like these are ongoing, and one explicitly examining how Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction influences these tests and ultimately the balance and stability of back pain patients is underway.

BALANCE AND FALLS

Many trials have previously shown that many chronic musculoskeletal pain patients suffer falls and have balance issues. That is a foremost problem for older patients with such musculoskeletal pain as they manytimes also have stiffer, less coordinated gait, and worse balance and muscle strength. (1) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation recommends exercise for balance and stability.

EXERCISE FOR STABILITY AND BALANCE

The lumbar spine multifidus muscle is a well-known and most critical stabilizer for the spine. Soccer players get this! Researchers examined their multifidus muscles during the soccer season. At rest while lying down, these players’ multifidus muscle thickness decreased. Those players with low back pain exhibited significant change at rest. (2) Australian football players with low back pain were to have the same issue while standing and at rest. (3) Both studies saw that body composition and body fat and mass were associated with the lumbar multifidus muscle size. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation has some exercise recommendations for our Tonawanda back pain patients to strengthen their multifidus muscles and improve their sense of balance and stability. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is ready to give them to you at your Tonawanda chiropractic visit!
