Pain…Chiropractors are Experienced

non-pharmacological treatments for low back pain relief that improved
function and/or pain for over 30 days. (1) Acupuncture, MBSR, exercise, low level
laser therapy, yoga, psychotherapy, massage rounded out
the list. The chiropractic profession encompasses back pain
specialists who competently provide spinal
manipulation. Chiropractic education focuses on the treatment
of spine pain and delivery of spinal manipulation. Many people consider chiropractic for back pain relief. Twenty-two million
Americans visit chiropractors annually. 35% do so
for back pain relief after sports and accident injuries, and muscle strains. Neck pain, arm pain, leg pain, and headache
are other spine related issues people for which they go
to chiropractors. (2) Fifteen percent of Australians see

McHenry CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise the Quadratus Lumborum
The quadratus lumborum – a quadrilateral-shaped muscle - is
a paired muscle on the left and right side of the abdominal
wall. It’s a deep muscle and typically thought
of as a back muscle as it extends from the 12th rib to
the upper 4 lumbar vertebrae. When
contracted, the quadratus lumborum causes lateral flexion
of the lumbar spine and/or rise of the pelvis. (5) Various bridge-type exercises are being examined about
the way in which they strengthen the quadratus lumborum’s two
layers of muscle in order for it to best add to the motor
control of the lumbar pain and avert back pain. (6) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic
and you can talk about how your spine may benefit from such
exercise at your next McHenry chiropractic visit to OrthoIllinois Chiropractic.
