San Jose Back Pain Relief with Paraspinal Muscle Health

July 30, 2019

Paraspinal muscles? Where are they? These muscles align the spine. They support the spine and permit it to move. And their health matters. Their health contributes to your posture, your back pain condition, and your ability to move your spine as you must and desire.  Chiropractic Solutions recommends exercises as part of the chiropractic treatment plan to strengthen and preserve the strength of these critical paraspinal muscles in the control of San Jose back pain and relief of back pain.

HOW DOES EXERCISE HELP PARASPINAL MUSCLES IN BACK PAIN?

The paraspinal muscles of the back are the action muscles of the spine. They run up and down your whole spine. They move your spine. Also known as the erector spinae, paraspinal muscles let you lean, bend, twist, and arch your back. Their ability to do what they do is connected to the well-being of their surrounding tissues. A new study documented that damage to the spine’s vertebral bones’ endplates plays a role in chronic low back pain. Endplate damage and chronic low back pain patients’ symptoms are reported to depend on paraspinal muscle quality. Attempts to strengthen the paraspinal muscles can be beneficial. (1) Sometimes finding the right exercise for you is key.

EXERCISE CAN HELP PARASPINAL MUSCLES FOR MOST San Jose BACK PAIN SUFFERERS

Exercise is recommended to address two issues affecting San Jose low back pain: fatty infiltration of muscles and muscle weakness. In another recent study, high-intensity exercise didn’t change these two concerns for all participants. Nonethless, for those who did display improvement in fat content and weakness, functional improvement followed. (2) At least most of us can exercise to develop our backs’ paraspinal muscles.  Astronauts cannot! Their paraspinal and quadratus lumborum muscles were still weak 2 to 4 years after their space flight. Researchers reason that these changes added to the back pain astronauts suffer. (3) San Jose doesn’t have many astronauts in its population, so Chiropractic Solutions will help you find the right form of exercise – be it high intensity or other type of exercise – for your optimal improvement of San Jose back pain.
