Ashburn and Herndon back pain sufferers frequently get relief by flexing forward just a bit, not flexing backward into extension. (Check out the SPINE article May 2018 on our website about why!) Extension is not all bad. A healthy spine can extend. A healthy spine requires solid back muscles to support all its movements. Strengthening those extensor muscles to stop Ashburn and Herndon back pain is important. Research reports that lumbar spine extension weakness and extensor muscle deconditioning are found in Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients with chronic low back pain. (5) Why? Back muscles degenerate in back pain sufferers like spinal discs degenerate. (6) Add extension exercises into your day when your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor tells you it is appropriate.
