Weak back muscles don’t allow fluid spinal motion in low back pain patients. Young Chiropractic doesn’t consider this helpful at all! Why do back pain patients have weaker muscles? Fat. With back pain comes more fat infiltration into the back muscles, muscles like the lumbar multifidus muscles which greatly influence the range of motion in lumbar spine. Fattier multifidi, less lumbar flexion. (1)
One article shares that there is big payoff for doing a little exercise! Muscle strengthening activity performed just two days a week lowers the odds of low back pain. (And this article, as a side note, shares that smoking is also an influential factor in your risk of getting back pain. It’s best not to smoke.) (2) Young Chiropractic presents simple exercises you can do in just a few minutes from the comfort of your own home if you like! They’ll make a big impact. You’ll see!
Chronic nonspecific low back pain sufferers benefit from exercises like the lumbopelvic core stabilization exercises by positively affecting the pain perception by improving your pain threshold and dropping your pain intensity.

Young Chiropractic is with you, our Easley back pain patient, through your healing process with as much support as you need.
Back school is an extra such support. Back school and manipulation/mobilization are standards of care for managing chronic nonspecific low back pain. These two approaches are suggested over many other types of care. (4) Young Chiropractic uses spinal manipulation in the form of Cox Technic, a chiropractic evidence based system of spine care.
Adding back school to the chiropractic treatment plan enriches the good outcomes of back pain rehabilitation. How? Back school nurtures self-management, gives control back to the patient to help him/herself. (5) Young Chiropractic tries to educate our back pain patients as to how and why their backs hurt and how to prevent or at least curtail future occurrences. A survey of patients who attended a back school in a chiropractor’s office showed 95% satisfaction with having attended the course and 100% support of the doctor’s presenting it.
