How Exercise Can Help Low Back Pain

October 30, 2018 By Dr David Perna DC

It is difficult to prevent low back pain (lbp) completely, but Springfield back pain exercise can really help and that that individuals who exercise daily have less of a risk for lbp. Fit adults who develop back pain could possibly experience it less often, at a lesser rate, and for a shorter amount of time than an individual with a sedentary lifestyle.

The thought of exercise brings a common question: which exercise is the best to do? The easiest answer for this question is doing a mix of various activities that are the most appealing to you. Some of these may include: walking, walk/run combinations, running/jogging, bicycling, swimming/water aerobics, yoga, pilates, core strengthening, balance exercises, tennis, basketball, golfing, etc.

There are some good specific Springfield back pain exercise that will help your lbp. Usually, these exercises are individualized to what feels best for you. Try leaning forward and touching your toes. Does this cause for a feel good stretch or pain? If it feels good, then use it in your exercises. Some exercises you can use for this example would be: posterior pelvic tilts (flatten your low back by rocking your pelvis forward); single and double knee to chest; and bending forward from a chair (as if to touch the floor).

If bending forwards causes pain or discomfort, try a different position. In this case, bend backwards or in another direction. Extension biased exercises will work in this circumstance. Some examples are: standing back extensions (place your hands behind the low back and bend backward); prone “press-ups” (lift the chest off the floor while keeping the pelvis down); and laying back-first over a Bosu- or Gym-ball.

Springfield back pain exercise also wants you to know that pelvic dysfunction and core weakness can cause lbp. Some exercises to attempt if this is your circumstance would be: abdominal crunches (bend one knee, place your hands behind your low back, and raise the breast bone toward the ceiling only a few inches and hold); front and side planks (start from the knees if necessary); supine bridges (supine, knees bent, lift the buttocks off the floor); “bird-dog” (kneel on all fours and raise the opposite leg and arm, keep good form, and alternate); and the “dead-bug” (on your back, bend the hips and knees at 90 degrees with your arms reaching toward the ceiling; slowly lower your right arm and left leg and return them to their starting position; repeat with the other arm/leg). When you lift, bend the knees and hips but NOT your low back; keep weights close to you and lift with your legs. Do not attempt lifts that you know are too heavy.

If you have or are experiencing lbp, Springfield back pain exercise may be a good start, but it’s also advisable to look into chiropractic care as well as performing these exercises under direction until your pain is under control.
