Relieving Exercise for Toronto Back Pain Relief
“Exercise? But my neck (or back) hurts!”
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre hears you! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre knows your back hurts. Many Toronto chiropractic patients come for just that reason: Toronto back pain. Back/Neck pain relief - whether due to Toronto spinal stenosis or a Toronto disc herniation whether it’s in the back/neck only or goes down the leg/arm and into the foot/hand - is possible via our combined effort: Toronto chiropractic care including spinal manipulation and exercise.
Toronto SPINAL STENOSIS AND LEG PAIN
Low back pain patients with spinal stenosis and leg pain have more fatty areas and less extensor muscles on MRI. What does that mean? They have a loss of muscle power in the low back when pain is present. (1) One of the causes of low back pain is lumbar hyperlordosis (sway back). A type of therapeutic exercise known as Perez-Olmedo showed improvement in 60% of youths with hyperlordosis. (2) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre checks for such causes and has just the exercise to tackle the issue.
Toronto NECK PAIN
Neck pain patients experience less neck pain and improved dysfunction neck posture and range of motion with thoracic spine manipulation. The relief lasts up to 6 months later. (3) This just shows that spinal manipulation is an essential component in Toronto pain relief treatment plans. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is good at setting these up for our Toronto chiropractic patients!
Toronto BACK PAIN
Chronic low back pain patients with marked lower abdominal wall muscular laxity were treated with abdominoplasty (a “tummy tuck”). This tightens and stabilizes the ab muscles by making the muscles work better and increase intraabdominal pressure to make them better spine stabilizers. Such abdominal strengthening should be considered a way for patients with weak ab muscles and intractable low back pain who have been unsuccessful with conservative management. (4) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre can offer you some individualized exercises that will do the trick before resorting to a surgery!
INTERMITTENT CLAUDICATION (cramp-like pain in the legs upon exercise like walking)
Peripheral artery disease patients with intermittent claudication were cared for with a home-based exercise program a supervised exercise program and usual-care control. Both exercise programs had patients exercise with a step activity monitor for 12 weeks. The patients continued with these programs which both proved effective in improving claudication measures comparable to a standard supervised exercise program. Such exercise appears more successful in getting patients to exercise in the community setting than supervised exercise. (5) If you are one of those Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is prepared to be your community!
Toronto NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Persistent non-specific low back pain pushes some Toronto back pain patients over the edge…with good reason! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre gets it! Compared with minimal or other interventions Pilates is a superb option to try to decrease back pain and improve disability. (7)
Toronto POST-SURGICAL BACK PAIN
Even after back surgery, exercise eases pain. Aerobic exercise starting one month after first time single-level lumbar microdiscectomy resulted in a more pronounced functional improvement than home exercise. (8) Whatever it takes to help reduce back pain is the important factor. Listen in to a PODCAST that shares how Cox Technic helps relieve post-surgical back pain.
