Bergen County Chiropractor, Dr. Peter Ferraro, recommends light strengthening and stretching exercises to help relieve lower back pain. According to Dr. Ferraro, muscles that are exercised often can utilize oxygen more efficiently, which helps them become stronger and healthier overtime.

With specific focus on the back, strengthening the muscles that support the spine, the stomach, back and leg muscles, can reduce pressure on spinal discs and prevent disc injury. In addition to strengthening exercises, those with lower back pain can also benefit from aerobic exercises such as walking or swimming. Aerobic exercise helps muscles use oxygen more efficiently. Muscles that frequently receive oxygen-rich blood stay healthier.

Dr. Ferraro is quoted, “Most low back pain can get better if patients stay active. Patients whose low back pain prevents them from being active need to seek professional treatment.”

Dr Ferraro’s Bergen County Chiropractic office offers a variety of treatment programs which can combine chiropractic care and physical therapy to help strengthen and alleviate low back pain so that patients can resume most normal activities. Patients that avoid treatment or activity because of pain can be causing much more serious harm to their back. Too little activity can lead to loss of flexibility, strength, and endurance, and then eventually to more pain.
