What to do with non-specific low back pain.
That is the
question.
Well, the first question might be "
what is non-specific low back pain (NLBP)?". NLBP is generalized low back pain of an unidentified origin or cause. It may be
acute, coming on quickly and lasting a short time,
subacute lasting 6 to 12 weeks
while
chronic lasts more than 12 weeks.
(1) Non-specific low back pain can be quite frustrating for the
Murfreesboro low back pain sufferer who just wants relief. Understandable. Physicians of all sorts are trying different exercise approaches to help these back pain
patients. Your Murfreesboro chiropractor is right there with these
colleagues and offers via Most Chiropractic Clinic a variety of approaches:
spinal manipulation,
exercise,
nutrition, electrical stimulation, etc., as part of our Murfreesboro
chiropractic
services to help. Here, Most Chiropractic Clinic wants to share what the medical
literature is reporting about a few new exercise approaches that hold promise
of relief for Murfreesboro non-specific low back pain patients.
And motor control exercises for patients with non-specific
low back pain are gaining popularity. These exercises focus on the activating
deep trunk muscles to restore control and coordination of these muscles. A
Cochrane Review reports that motor control exercise is probably more effective
than a minimal intervention for reducing pain but not quite as effective for disability.
(2) Most Chiropractic Clinic knows no one approach usually does it all alone. That’s why
Most Chiropractic Clinic designs and individualized treatment plan to be most effective
for you and your back pain relief.
Interestingly, researchers note that chronic non-specific
low back pain sufferers are more visually dependent for posture control. To
test this, a study was done to have these chronic non-specific low back pain
patients do stabilization exercises with their eyes open and eyes closed. The results show that the stabilization
exercises made them less visually dependent as they gained stability. (3)
It's another therapeutic approach to add to the treatment plan for some
Murfreesboro chiropractic patients with back pain!
And a third therapeutic approach that may well help some of
our Murfreesboro back pain chiropractic patients involves breathing
exercises. A couple of researchers
report that breathing patterns differ between those with low back pain and
those without low back pain. Wow! They further explain that some other
researchers note differences in lung capacity and diaphragm mechanics in
patients with chronic non-specific low back pain. So a
complimentary/alternative therapy like breathing exercises may help in the
treatment of chronic non-specific low back pain. (4) Most Chiropractic Clinic loves to
