Spine Strengthening Exercise Tips From Your Hiram GA Chiropractor

By Frank Carbart


When your back hurts, tying your shoes or picking up an object from the floor can be almost impossible. You could be missing out on many things in life because of your back. Thankfully, many people are finding relief with exercise, instead of pain pills. These useful exercise tips (provided by your Hiram GA chiropractor) can help you enjoy a stronger spine and less pain.

Choose exercise designed to help your joints and back. For example, a simple yoga program strengthens the spine and increases mobility. Yoga is safe enough for people of all ages. Remember that stretching should never be painful and always stop when you start to feel pain.

Begin your exercises with stretches. This helps to get rid of back and joint stiffness and makes it easier to do the rest of your routine. It also warms up the muscles and makes it less likely to strain anything.

Make sure to work opposing muscles groups in your stomach and abdomen. Your stomach muscles provide needed support for the back and spine. Sit-ups may actually be hard on the back. Instead, do stomach crunches with the knees bent. Start out with just a few and increase repetitions gradually.

There is no need for hard or strenuous exercise if you want a stronger back. In fact, take it slow in the beginning and do not use weights that are heavy or difficult to operate exercise equipment. Keep at it for as little as 10 minutes every day, and you can make a difference.

To form the "exercise habit" do your routine at the same approximate time each day. For example, as soon as you arise each morning, do several stretches, crunches, and yoga postures. If you do not have the time, make the time by setting the alarm clock for ten minutes earlier than usual. When back pain is making life difficult, see your chiropractor in Hiram for professional assistance.
