Exercise and Chiropractic Care

In the management of low back pain, it is important that the chiropractor blend a combination of chiropractic care with recommended cardiovascular and strengthening exercise.  Consultations with the patient's primary care physician must be done before the fitness-promoting activities are begun.

In combination with chiropractic care, exercise provides a variety of benefits.  The primary aims of an exercise program for your spine are to make the muscles of your back, neck, stomach, and limbs strong and flexible. It is important to exercise regularly so you can maintain your fitness level. Regular exercise is important to prevent back pain and injury.

Research has shown that people who are physically fit are more resistant to spine injuries and pain, and recover quicker when they do have injuries, than those who are less physically fit.

Before beginning any exercise program, check with your health-care specialist to make sure that there are no medical considerations that would change your approach to the exercise program.

Do not ignore pain. You have to stop doing exercises immediately and contact your spine-care specialist if it increases pain or causes tingling, numbness, or weakness in your legs or arms.
