What to do with non-specific low back pain.

And motor control exercises for patients with non-specific low back pain are gaining popularity. These exercises focus on the activating deep trunk muscles to restore control and coordination of these muscles. A Cochrane Review reports that motor control exercise is probably more effective than a minimal intervention for reducing pain but not quite as effective for disability. (2) Old Mill Chiropractic knows no one approach usually does it all alone. That’s why Old Mill Chiropractic designs and individualized treatment plan to be most effective for you and your back pain relief.

Interestingly, researchers note that chronic non-specific low back pain sufferers are more visually dependent for posture control. To test this, a study was done to have these chronic non-specific low back pain patients do stabilization exercises with their eyes open and eyes closed.  The results show that the stabilization exercises made them less visually dependent as they gained stability. (3) It's another therapeutic approach to add to the treatment plan for some St Peters chiropractic patients with back pain!

And a third therapeutic approach that may well help some of our St Peters back pain chiropractic patients involves breathing exercises.  A couple of researchers report that breathing patterns differ between those with low back pain and those without low back pain. Wow! They further explain that some other researchers note differences in lung capacity and diaphragm mechanics in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain. So a complimentary/alternative therapy like breathing exercises may help in the treatment of chronic non-specific low back pain.
