Using Exercise to Reduce Back Pain

June 24th, 2011

Past research suggests that 80% of all Americans will have some of back pain during their lives. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons also supports this exact statistic with their studies.

Usually the remedy for lower back pain is to increase your core strength which increases your flexibility on any muscles that may be tight, which gives you better stabilization on your spine. Exercises to correct any imbalance of muscles are also used to treat lower back pain. The muscles that surround the spine provide stability and help to support the spinal column.

Every muscle between your hips and shoulder are considered your core muscles. Back pain can be caused by an imbalance of any of your core muscles. For example, if the back of your thighs are weaker than the front of your thighs, an uneven pull on the front of your spinal column will result.

You can integrate core strength exercises into your normal exercise routine. One way to strengthen your core muscles is to breath effectively, especially during exercise. Breathing deep will use your diaphragm muscles more. These muscles help support the spinal column and lengthen the spine. This will help support you when you walk or run. » Read more: Using Exercise to Reduce Back Pain
