Weak back muscles don’t allow fluid spinal motion in low back pain patients. Pure Chiropractic knows this isn’t good for our Concord, NC back pain patients! What makes these muscles weak? Fat. With back pain comes more fat infiltration into the back muscles, muscles like the lumbar multifidus muscles which greatly influence the range of motion in lumbar spine. Fattier multifidi, less lumbar flexion. (1)
One article shares that doing a little exercise does a lot! Muscle strengthening activity done just two days a week lowers the odds of low back pain. (And this article, as a side note, suggests that smoking is also an influential factor in the equation of whether you get back pain or not. Recommendation: Don’t smoke!)

Adding back school to the chiropractic treatment plan enhances the good outcomes of back pain rehabilitation. How?
