The use of exercise in conjunction with non-steroidal anti inflammatory is a treatment that is recommended for people suffering constantly from back pain problems.
Types of exercise for back pain:
McKenzie Exercises:
These exercises help reduce the pain in your back by stretching the spine and surrounding muscles. It is possible to perform these exercises standing or sitting and the stretching can help reduce the disc herniation in the spine. These exercises are also effective in dealing with pain associated with degenerative joints.
Dynamic lumbar stabilization:
These exercises can be paired with McKenzie exercises to cut down pain and tone the back muscles. A physical therapist is well trained in the art of dynamic lumbar stabilization.
Aerobics:
Aerobic exercise elevates the heart rate and increases blood flow to the affected area, which aids in a speedy recovery. Aerobic exercise can involve taking a walk, riding a bike, and physical activity in a pool of water.
Exercise will involve the following muscles:
Piriformis muscle, the hamstrings, the psoas muscle and the gluteus muscles, which are the muscles of walking.
By getting into the routine of stretching on a daily basis, you will be helping to strengthen your muscles and to promote oxygen flow to the tissues.
Wear loose clothing for freedom of movement. Loose clothing allows for freedom of movement without restriction. Nothing can hinder you from reaching your full potential for healing exercises of the body.
Physical therapy:
Physical therapists are trained to make use of wide range of exercises and techniques to effectively treat back pain. They may use methods such as flexibility work, heat treatments, ultrasound and various other strategies and tools.
Chiropractic care involves adjustments to the musculoskeletal system and serves to regain muscle and spinal flexibility. Chiropractic care is a safe and effective way to promote healing and reduction of back pain. It can also be used with physical therapy exercises. It is not for all patients, however, and may be contraindicated in some instances, such as the presence of symptoms of infection. This will need the attention of a medical professional and a prescription for antibiotics.
Exercise also has the benefit of helping you lose weight which can reduce the stress placed on your back, further helping your recovery. Talk to a doctor or other trained professional about an exercise program that can help get your back in much better shape.
