Its not uncommon for people to avoid exercising a particular body part or even avoid exercising all together if they have an old injury or chronic pain such as back or knee. Often times its the lack of exercise that either leads to these types of injuries or exacerbates them. Its not only important to shed extra pounds that tax these joints but its also important to strengthen the muscles around joints to support your body weight. Pilates is a great way to strengthen your core muscles which helps your muscles and joints strenghen. For back pain in particular, its important to strengthen your core muscle groups so they can hold up your body and align your spine in proper posture to allow space between the vertebrae and get blood flowing to the affected areas. Specific exercises under the Chiropractic and a personal trainer can help such issues to meet your needs, improve your health and relieve your pain. Please do not go it alone with such specific exercises as you can re-injure yourself if you incorrectly do the exercises, are not using proper form or do counter-productive exercises for your particular situation. Exercise has many benefits; pain relief is just one of them. Its time to get your spine and nervous system checked. Dr. Margie is taking New Patients. Just call our office at 508-824-1700.
