West Des Moines Exercise Helps with Back Pain Relief and Strength
“Doc, what kind of exercise do you think would help?”
“The kind that you’ll do!”
There is some humor in that response, but there is some truth in it, also. Exercise that you’ll do is the most valuable exercise of all! Whether you have West Des Moines neck pain or West Des Moines back pain, strengthening exercise comes in handy. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is here to help you find exercise you will do and exercise that will benefit you.
STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING EXERCISE HELPS
General strength and conditioning exercise benefits chronic low back pain patients, especially in terms of pain intensity relief. Comparing general strength and conditioning exercise to motor control exercise with manual therapy revealed that the general exercise tended to deliver a more assorted range of treatment results. Specifically, the general exercise bettered trunk endurance, leg muscle strength and endurance, disability, multifidus muscle volume, and fear of doing daily activities for chronic low back pain patients. (1) A Cochrane Review of published medical literature showed that motor control exercise is more successful in reducing chronic low back pain than minimal intervention, but, alone, motor control exercise does not stand out to be healthier than other exercise or manual therapy for pain relief. (2) What does this mean? General strength and conditioning exercise is beneficial for pain reduction by boosting the overall body condition. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa helps West Des Moines back pain patients establish an exercise routine that works for them to maximize pain reduction and improve strength.
EXERCISE AND MANIPULATION
Executive Chiropractic of Iowa also works to maximize back pain reduction and strength improvement by blending exercise with chiropractic treatment. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa uses The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to boost such clinical outcomes. A new report states that combining manipulative treatment with exercise reduced pain and improved functional disability more than exercise only for non-specific neck pain sufferers. (3) Together, your West Des Moines chiropractor and you will determine the best suited exercises and the best suited exercise routine to complement your West Des Moines chiropractic treatment plan to get you back to your best life possible!
