Concord, NC Back Pain and Associated Spinal Instability Helped by Exercise to Improve Balance and More

January 04, 2022

Back pain turns into the main focus when it happens. The term ‘back pain’ is very general though as back pain arises from the mingled contributions of muscles, nerves, bones, and more. Low back muscles may be weak and/or unstable making them less useful in supporting the spine. Exercise continued to show just how beneficial it is in addressing spinal instability associated with Concord, NC back pain. Pure Chiropractic endoreses exercise as something a back pain sufferer can do to help him/herself.

SPINAL INSTABILITY AND BALANCE

Instability impacts balance. Back pain sufferers’ troubled balance may be caused by badly coordinated neuromuscular control and altered spine stability. A new 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 showed more issues with balance control, proprioception, fear of movement, increased pain, and functional ability than sufferers without such instability. (1) Pure Chiropractic checks for instability in our Concord, NC back pain patients and creates a Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management  treatment plan that encompasses pain relieving spinal manipulation, nutrition, and exercise.

EXERCISE FOR SPINAL INSTABILITY AND BALANCE IMPROVEMENT

Exercise is a usual intervention for low back pain patients no matter the treatment plan. For subacute NSLBP sufferers, exercise is valuable. Recently, two types of exercise were assessed: core stabilization and strengthening exercise. Four weeks of three-times-a-day 30-minute-sessions showed 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), thickened muscles of the transverse abdominis and lumbar multifidus, decreased functional disability, and less fear of movement. Bonuses affiliated with both types of exercise: no unpleasant side-effects AND pain relief. (2) Pure Chiropractic is always checking for balance issues in our chiropractic patients. Exercise that improves Concord, NC balance is so vital.
