Chiropractor Kent WA Recommends Body Balancing Exercises

By Jay Dy


Many people seek chiropractic care when suffering from back pain. A quality chiropractor Kent WA might assign patients homework as well.

Chiropractic medicine is focused on addressing the underlying causes of a problem, rather than simply easing the symptoms. Their intent is to prevent recurrences whenever possible. For many situations, this could entail utilizing corrective exercises and undergoing posture training. All routines are tailored to the personal circumstances and needs of the individual.

Some of the common recommendations for people with pain in their lower backs include hamstring stretches, bird dogs, wall sits, and crunches (instead of sit ups). They are typically suggested in small reps of less than twelve, in no more than three sets, but done on a regular basis.

The exercises selected specifically for a patient by chiropractors are going to depend on the individual's personal situation and the particular muscles they seek to strengthen without strain. The routines might include Pilates and stretches as well.

Healthy people can probably look at online exercise programs and similar to find the best exercises, in addition to the ones recommended above. However, even better is to get a chiropractor's help. They will look at your posture and any problems that might be developing, and recommend an exercise program that will help you, specifically, especially if you have a "conformation" problem such as a slightly curved spine or one leg being shorter than the other (which is more common than a lot of people think).

When a person is currently dealing with back pain, they should never start any exercise program until they consult with a chiropractic doctor so that any risk of attempting moves that might be detrimental to one's condition can be removed. Although every individual can reap the benefits of body balancing physical activity, a routine of this type should not be begun without doctor's consent.
