Does Core Muscle Strength Help in Back Pain Relief?
Posted by: Back Pain Relief in: Home Page
One of the most common back pain relief techniques you will find is developing core muscle strength. But does it actually help with relieving back pain? Or is it more suited to prevention?
Admittedly your core strength will make you more likely to injure your back or develop back pain over a period of time as your back strength decreases. The question I ask is this…
Which comes first, your back pain or your lowered core strength.
Is it possible that due to back pain the nerve supply to your core muscles reduces which reduces your core strength? So when you test your core muscles they appear weak and you assume this is the reason for your back pain.
On the other hand, you may have weakened core strength which allows your back to tire and twist and then lead to back pain.
Which is it – the chicken or the egg?
The simple solution is to correct both. Target the muscles that are weak, stretch the muscle that are tight, balance your spine and pelvis and your back pain will ease and disappear.
In back pain relief, most people look for the one “miracle” solution. In fact there is no miracle. It is a combined approach that will rid you of your back pain.
Too many people put all their faith in just stretching, or just exercising to gain strength, or seeing a practitioner to adjust your joints, or just taking medication or natural pills or potions.
Are they all wrong? No, they are just looking for a simple solution to a complex problem. Although your back pain is complex it is still easy to correct.
All you need to do is learn to stretch effectively, improve the nerve and blood supply to your muscles (before you exercise them), self adjust your spine and balance your pelvis, and to use natural ways to break the habits that have allowed your back pain to occur.
This may sound hard, arduous or time consuming. In fact you can do all this in just 17 minutes each day. You can learn to remove your back pain and have long lasting back pain relief.
Core muscle strength is part of this process, but for good and effective back pain relief you need to look at a multi-pronged attack.
