Reoccurring Back Pain and the Multifidus Muscle

Chiropractic treatment has been shown again and again to be the most effective treatment for back pain. Oftentimes back pain will reoccur again and again. Studies show that approximately 34% of people who experience acute low back pain will suffer recurrent episodes. Why does this back pain return? Recent studies suggest that the multifidus muscle may be to blame. These studies show the multifidus muscle is smaller or atrophied on one side of patients with chronic reoccurring

low back pain. Fortunately there are exercises you can do to increase the strength of the multifidus muscle. These exercises include the plank, the bird dog, back extension, back bridge, curl up and side bridge. If you have back pain that is reoccurring contact our office for an examination to determine if chiropractic treatment will help you. Part of your treatment program may include exercises to strengthen the multifidus muscle. Please feel free to comment on this blog post.
