Spinal Manipulation Recommended for Back
Pain…Chiropractors are Skilled
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality 2020 Report states
that spinal manipulation is one of the effective, non-invasive,
non-pharmacological treatments for low back pain relief that enhanced
function and/or pain for more than one month. (1) Yoga, exercise, psychotherapy,
low-level laser therapy, massage, MBSR, acupuncture were also on
the list. The chiropractic profession encompasses back pain
specialists who competently deliver spinal
manipulation. Chiropractic education concentrates on the treatment
of spine pain and delivery of spinal manipulation. Many people consider chiropractic for back pain relief. 22 million
Americans visit chiropractors annually. 35% do that
for back pain relief after accidents, sports
injuries, and muscle strains. Neck pain, arm pain, leg pain, and headache
are other spine related issues people for which they visit chiropractors. (2) Fifteen percent of Australians see
a chiropractor annually. (3) 4.5 million Canadians visit

Lynchburg 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 stretches from the 12th rib to
the upper 4 lumbar vertebrae. When
contracted, the quadratus lumborum causes lateral flexion
of the lumbar spine and/or elevation of the pelvis. (5) A
variety of bridge-type exercises are being studied about
the way in which they strengthen the quadratus lumborum’s dual
layers of muscle in order for it to best contribute to the motor
control of the lumbar pain and avert back pain. (6) Palmer Chiropractic Center
and you can talk about how your spine may benefit from such
exercise at your next Lynchburg chiropractic visit to Palmer Chiropractic Center.
