August 15, 2017

“Exercise? Didn’t you hear me say my back (or neck) hurts?”

Pure Chiropractic hears you! Pure Chiropractic knows your back hurts. Many Concord, NC chiropractic patients come for just that motivation: Concord, NC back pain. Back/Neck pain relief - whether because of Concord, NC spinal stenosis or a Concord, NC disc herniation whether it’s in the back/neck only or extends down the leg/arm and into the foot/hand - is possible through our joint effort: Concord, NC chiropractic care including spinal manipulation and exercise.

Concord, NC SPINAL STENOSIS AND LEG PAIN

Low back pain patients with spinal stenosis and leg pain show decreased cross sectional area of the spinal extensor muscles and fat infiltration on MRI. What does that mean? There is a a loss of muscle power in the low back when pain bothers a patient. (1) One of the causes of low back pain is lumbar hyperlordosis (sway back). A type of therapeutic exercise known as Perez-Olmedo showed improvement in 60% of youths with hyperlordosis. (2) Pure Chiropractic checks for such causes and has just the exercise to address the issue.

Concord, NC 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 post-treatment. (3) This just shows that spinal manipulation is an essential component in Concord, NC pain relief treatment plans. Pure Chiropractic is skilled at setting these up for our Concord, NC chiropractic patients!

Concord, NC BACK PAIN

Chronic low back pain patients with weak stomach muscles were treated with abdominoplasty (a “tummy tuck”).  This produces a spine-stabilizing effect by tightening the muscles increasing intraabdominal pressure and  increasing the efficiency of these muscles so that their effectiveness as spine stabilizers is increased. Such abdominal strengthening should be considered a way for patients with weak lower abdominal muscles and intractable low back pain who have failed conservative management. (4) Pure Chiropractic can offer you some individualized 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 kept at these programs which both proved productive in improving claudication measures comparable to a standard supervised exercise program. Such exercise appears more successful in getting patients to exercise in the community setting than supervised exercise. (5) If you are one of those Pure Chiropractic is ready to be your community!

Concord, NC NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN

Persistent non-specific low back pain pushes some Concord, NC back pain patients over the edge…with good reason! Pure Chiropractic gets it! Compared with slight or other interventions Pilates is a superb option to try to reduce back pain and ease disability. (7)

Concord, NC POST-SURGICAL BACK PAIN
