Tree trunks. Human trunks. Both must be strong. Both support
their respective systems. The human system requires a strong, well-functioning
trunk to support the spine. Many La Grande lower back pain patients rely on chiropractic care and recommended exercise at Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC to regain,
strengthen, and maintain a strong trunk and spine. La Grande’s
chiropractor at Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is the professional to trust for all your spine
needs!
Now La Grande chiropractic care looks to the
backbone of the trunk for clues to the source of pain. From that backbone, from
the spine, emanate nerves, nerves that send pain signals to the brain as well
as pain-free signals to the body. It sends messages to move the body – the arms,
the legs, the hands, the feet. The spine is central to the body system, so it
deserves to be well-protected by strong muscles and well-cared for when any
part of its system hurts. It deserves evidence-based care from the back pain
specialist at Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC.
So chiropractic back pain specialists like yours at Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC
study every part of the spine, every nerve from the spine, every test that
might show how the spine is involved in your pain. Now once your La Grande
chiropractic physician is able to examine you, the chiropractic treatment plan can
be set. It often includes non-surgical spinal manipulation, nutrition, hot/cold therapy, and
exercise among other approaches. All elements of the chiropractic treatment
plan aim to strengthen the trunk, strengthen the spine … and be rest assured
that we’ll talk, your La Grande chiropractor will listen as you talk
and will clearly describe your condition to you. Your La Grande chiropractor
knows that your understanding of your condition, your embracing your treatment
plan, your doing your exercises and making your office visits will only enhance
the opportunity for you to control and even be rid of your back pain.
Be sure to do your home exercises. They support your
in-office chiropractic treatments with Cox Technic by strengthening the trunk musculature
to hold your spine in place. Home spine exercises keep you involved in your
care, give you control over your pain. One type of exercise Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC may
well encourage is stability exercise. This strengthens the oblique abdominal
muscles, the transverse abdominis muscle and multifidus muscles. Certain forms
of stability exercise for these muscles are more appropriate when you are just
starting to exercise while others are better performed once you start feeling
better. Bridge pose (pelvic tilt type exercise) is a better early-on exercise
as it strengthens local muscles. It significantly thickens the transverse
abdominis. Side bridge exercise is a better later-on spine exercise as it
strengthens muscles more globally as well as locally. (1)
