“Doc, what kind of exercise do you think would help?”
“The kind that you’ll do!”
There is some humor in that delivery,
but there is some truth in it, too.
Exercise that you will do is the most useful exercise
of all! Whether you experience La Grande neck
pain or La Grande back pain, strengthening exercise is
positive. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is ready to help you find
exercise you will do and exercise that will benefit you.
STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING EXERCISE HELPS
General strength and conditioning exercise benefits
chronic low back pain patients, particularly in terms of pain
intensity reduction. Comparing general strength and conditioning exercise
to motor control exercise with manual therapy revealed
that the general exercise tended to deliver a
more assorted range of treatment outcomes.
In particular, the general exercise bettered
trunk endurance, leg muscle strength and endurance, disability, multifidus
muscle volume, and fear of moving in
chronic low back pain patients. (1) A
Cochrane Review of published medical literature showed that
motor control exercise is more successful in decreasing
chronic low back pain than minimal intervention, but, alone, motor
control exercise doesn’t show itself to be better
than other exercise or manual therapy for pain relief. (2) What’s that mean? General strength and conditioning exercise is advantageous
to decrease pain by improving the overall
body condition. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC helps La Grande back pain patients establish an exercise routine that works for them to get
the most in pain reduction and increase strength.
EXERCISE AND MANIPULATION
Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC also aims to get the most
back pain reduction and strength improvement by combining exercise
with chiropractic treatment. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC uses The Cox® Technic System of
Spinal Pain Management to enhance these clinical outcomes.
A recent report states that combining manipulative
treatment with exercise decreased pain and improved functional
disability more than exercise by itself for non-specific neck
pain sufferers. (3) Together, your La Grande chiropractor and you will
figure out the best suited exercises and the best
suited exercise routine to complement your
La Grande chiropractic treatment plan to get you feeling the best you can!
