Now, let’s consider exercise to not only stabilize YOU and your fellow San Jose chiropractic patients during times of stress as COVID-19 may provoking, but exercise to stabilize your spine while and following your San Jose back pain episodes.
STABILITY AND BALANCE AND BACK PAIN
Stability and balance go together. Stability alludes to how balance is controlled. Inhibited balance control is associated with less stability. Balance or rather a loss of balance or the sense of stability is often noticed in or reported by musculoskeletal pain patients who experience back pain and neck pain. Therefore, Chiropractic Solutions watches each chiropractic patient meticulously throughout their entire visit door to door. Observation is a helpful tool in the management of back pain and related leg pain, San Jose neck pain and any related arm pain. Researchers examined this topic of balance and its disruption, too. New studies reported on patients’ gait speed, their “timed up and go test” ability, step test and “sit-to-stand test.” Chiropractic Solutions is fond of these tests. Some of our San Jose chiropractic patients will be curious about what we’re examining when we have them sit in a chair and stand up from that position and time them! We chiropractors are an inquisitive group! Trials like these tell your San Jose chiropractor a lot about your spinal condition. A recent analysis of similar studies stated that manual therapy like spinal manipulation used at Chiropractic Solutions improved short-term stability measures. (1) Be certain additional studies like these are ongoing, and one specifically examining how Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction affects these tests and eventually the balance and stability of back pain patients is in its first trial.
BALANCE AND FALLS
Many trials have previously documented that many chronic musculoskeletal pain patients suffer falls and have balance issues. That is a big issue for older patients with such musculoskeletal pain as they often also have stiffer, less coordinated gait, and worse balance and muscle strength. (1) Chiropractic Solutions recommends exercise for balance and stability.
EXERCISE FOR STABILITY AND BALANCE
The lumbar spine multifidus muscle is a well-known and most important stabilizer for the spine. Soccer players know this! Researchers measured their multifidus muscles during the soccer season. At rest while lying down, these players’ multifidus muscle thickness diminished. Those players with low back pain demonstrated 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 linked to the lumbar multifidus muscle size. Chiropractic Solutions has some exercise recommendations for our San Jose back pain patients to boost their multifidus muscles and increase their sense of balance and stability. Chiropractic Solutions is ready to share them with you at your San Jose chiropractic appointment!
