is integral to the chiropractic care plan for spine pain issues of types.
Exercise also allows the patient to take control of their pain relief. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC incorporates exercise into the chiropractic
treatment plan for all our La Grande patients to get them back to

Lax muscles reduce motion in low back pain patients. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC
doesn’t consider this helpful at all! Why do back pain patients have
weaker muscles? Fat. With back pain comes
more fat infiltration into the back muscles, muscles like the lumbar multifidus
muscles which greatly influence the range of motion in lumbar spine. Fattier
multifidi, less lumbar flexion. (1)
One article shares that doing a little exercise does a lot! Patients
who did just 2 days of muscle strengthening a week reduced their
risk for low back pain. (And this
article, as a side note, suggests that smoking is also an influential factor in your risk of getting back pain. Recommendation: Don’t smoke!) (2) Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC offers
simple exercises you can do in a short amount of time
from the comfort of your own home if you like! You will see

Chronic nonspecific low back pain sufferers benefit
from exercises like the lumbopelvic core stabilization exercises by positively influencing
the pain perception by improving your pain threshold and reducing
your pain intensity. (3) Such exercises aren’t hard; they’re just effective!

Back school is an extra such
support. Back school and manipulation/mobilization are standards of care for handling chronic nonspecific low back pain. These two approaches are recommended
over many other types of care. (4) Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC uses spinal
manipulation in the form of Cox Technic, a chiropractic evidence based system of spine care.
The chiropractic treatment plan is enhanced when
back school is included in the overall back pain rehabilitation
plan. How? Back school nurtures self-management, gives
control back to the patient to take care of him/herself. (5)
Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC attempts to educate our back pain patients as
to how and why their backs hurt and how to avoid or at
