“Exercise? Didn’t you hear me say my back (or neck)
hurts?”
Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC hears you! Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC knows your back
hurts. Many La Grande chiropractic patients come for just that motivation:
La Grande back pain. Back/Neck pain relief - whether due
to La Grande spinal stenosis or a La Grande disc
herniation whether it is in the back/neck only or goes
down the leg/arm and into the foot/hand - is possible through our joint
effort: La Grande chiropractic care including spinal manipulation and
exercise.
La Grande 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 bothers a patient.
(1) One of the causes of low back pain is lumbar hyperlordosis (sway back). One
type of therapeutic exercise known as Perez-Olmedo showed improvement
in 60% of youths with hyperlordosis. (2) Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC looks for
such causes and has just the exercise to address the issue.
La Grande 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 a half-year post-treatment.
(3) This goes to show that spinal manipulation is an important
part in La Grande pain relief treatment plans.
Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is good at setting
these up for our La Grande chiropractic patients!
La Grande BACK PAIN
Chronic low back pain patients with marked lower abdominal wall muscular laxity were cared for
with abdominoplasty (a “tummy tuck”). This
produces a spine-stabilizing effect by tightening
the muscles increasing intraabdominal pressure and increasing the efficiency of these muscles so that their effectiveness as spine
stabilizers is increased. Such abdominal strengthening should be considered
a way for patients with weak ab
muscles and stubborn low back pain who have not been
helped by conservative management. (4)
Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC can recommend you some individualized
exercises that will be just right for you 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 treated 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 kept
at these programs which both proved useful
in improving claudication measures comparable to a standard
supervised exercise program. Such exercise seems to be more successful
in increasing daily activity in the
community setting than supervised exercise. (5) If you are one of those Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC
is ready to be your community!
La Grande NON-SPECIFIC
LOW BACK PAIN
Persistent non-specific low back pain drives some
La Grande back pain sufferers crazy…with good reason! Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC
gets it! Compared with minimal or other interventions Pilates is a
good option to try to reduce back pain and improve disability. (7)
La Grande POST-SURGICAL BACK PAIN
Even after back surgery, exercise eases pain. Aerobic
exercise commencing one month after first time
single-level lumbar microdiscectomy resulted in a more distinct
functional improvement than home exercise. (8) Whatever it takes to help decrease
back pain is the important factor. Listen in to a PODCAST that shares how Cox Technic helps relieve post-surgical back pain. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC will help you discover
the best exercise choice for you!
