Improve La Grande Low Back Pain with Group Exercise & Chiropractic Care
Living with chronic low back pain can feel great, affecting daily activities and overall quality of life in La Grande. While going through chiropractic care at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC, there’s promising news. Pairing group-based exercise with your chiropractic treatment and Cox® Technic can enhance results and bring about long-lasting relief, as backed by recent research.
WHY CONSIDER GROUP EXERCISE?
Group exercise goes beyond just a workout class. It offers numerous physical and emotional benefits, especially for individuals managing La Grande chronic low back pain. According to a 2025 study done in the Journal of Physiotherapy, group-based exercise significantly decreases pain and disability in individuals with chronic, non-specific low back pain. (1) Participants also reported improvements in their mobility, function, and overall well-being. When missed with chiropractic care, group exercise can work synergistically to address underlying causes of pain, restore flexibility, and improve muscles around the spine. These targeted movements complement chiropractic adjustments, ensuring that the areas treated stay aligned and reinforced.
THE UNIQUE ADVANTAGES OF GROUP SETTINGS
The effectiveness of group exercise is largely attributable to the shared experience. A 2024 study in Physiotherapy Theory and Practice found that patients with chronic low back pain described how group-based exercise programs were not only acceptable but highly beneficial. (2) Here’s why:
- Motivation Through Community - Exercising alongside others who understand your challenges makes for a accepting environment. Seeing others get to their milestones encourages you to keep pushing forward.
- Guided Expertise - Professional instructors modify the exercises to suit participants dealing with back pain, lowering the chance of injury and ensuring proper technique.
- Improved Mental Well-being - Group settings foster mental positivity, reducing feelings of isolation and stress, which are often associated with chronic pain.
