Benefits of Exercise Combined with Chiropractic Care


Advertisement

 

Individuals suffering from lower back pain, posture problems or joint pain often turn to chiropractic therapy to help improve symptoms and keep pain under control. However, experts say that a combination of chiropractic therapy and exercise is the best strategy for improving muscle and joint function, and that exercise may also help to reduce the risk of future muscle and joint pain.
 
According to Spine-Health.com, even light aerobic exercises such as brisk walking and household chores can help to improve the effects of chiropractic therapy and also help to promote circulation which promotes healing of the body’s tissues.
 
Some of the critical exercises for improving general joint and muscle functioning include:
 
  • Hamstring stretches
  • Increasing strength of pelvic stabilizing muscles
  • Strengthening core muscles (especially important for improving posture)
  • Abdominal exercises including crunches, oblique twists and sit ups
  • Yoga to promote deep stretching and relaxation
The Scientific Commission of the Council on Chiropractic Guidelines and Practice Parameters (CCGPP) reports that there is strong evidence that certain chiropractic exercises can be just as effective as other non-surgical treatments for chronic low back pain. Undertaking an exercise program in conjunction with chiropractic therapy may also help to improve results of the treatment. The World Chiropractic Alliance reports that the benefits of exercise have been well-researched and documented, and that combined with chiropractic care, can counteract the effects of aging.

Key Benefits of Exercise Combined with Chiropractic Care

Some of the key benefits of exercise combined with chiropractic care include:
 
  • Stabilizing bodyweight to reduce risk of excessive stress on the spinal joints and discs
  • Prevents back pain by keeping spinal muscles toned and flexible
  • Improved sleep patterns which promotes healing of the skin tissues and joints
  • General pain and stress relief
  • Improving digestion for healthier metabolic functioning
A regular exercise regimen may be particularly effective for lowering the risk of chronic low back pain (LBP) which is associated with poor health, lower quality of life and high medical costs. Treatment of LBP varies by individual, but chiropractors and physical therapists may recommend a special set of strengthening exercises to help improve functioning of the muscles and joints around the spine.
 
LBP has become so common because many of the core muscles used for sitting and standing can become damaged or weak if they are not used correctly. Lower back pain can be the result of muscle strains and spasms, sciatica, fibromyalgia, a herniated disc, osteoarthritis, or injury. Encouraging deep contractions of the lower back muscles and strengthening weaker muscles in the back and obliques are just some of the preventative methods available for treating lower back pain.
 
If you are suffering from lower back pain or chronic pain, set up a consultation with a chiropractor in your area to discuss different treatment options. Your chiropractor will be able to recommend a treatment plan that combines chiropractic therapy, massage and exercise so that you can strengthen key muscle groups and help improve overall health.
