Physical Therapy - Core Exercises
Do you feel like you’re being plagued by pulled back muscles even though you exercise? Does your back feel weak and get injured frequently? Are you exercising your core?
While they may not seem related, your core and your chiropractic care go hand in hand.
At the Injury Centers of Brevard in Brevard County, FL, we understand the relationship between core strength and your chiropractic health and want to make sure that both are in their best conditions.
Therapeutic ultrasounds have been used for a wide range of issues for several years now in medicine, and they have a proven ability to treat concerns such as ulcers, blood clots, arthritis, and more.
They can be especially useful for treating conditions that involve the neck and back, such as back pain, whiplash, muscle strains and pulls, and other injuries.
Many of our patients have been satisfied with the results of our Brevard County chiropractic ultrasound, and we use it often to treat back injuries sustained in accidents, falls, car, or crashes and to help alleviate the symptoms caused by chronic conditions.
Chiropractic ultrasound can be used to reduce the muscle pain you experience while improving your range of movement and mobility.
In therapeutic ultrasounds, high frequency sound waves are used to deliver deep heat to the affected tissues and muscles, which has a host of positive effects on your body.
Ultrasound therapy can increase circulation, reduce stiffness, increase your mobility, lower your swelling and inflammation, and trigger the body’s natural healing response.
All of these work together to reduce the overall pain you feel and help you move more freely and painlessly, giving you a greater level of independence and range of motion.
While the benefits of ultrasounds are proven and widespread, they do provide only temporary relief of your symptoms, so regular treatments are recommended for optimal results.
Injury Centers of Brevard specializes in personal injury setting, chiropractic evaluation, and chiropractic manipulation to reduce pain, increase mobility, and increase circulation. Often, we will recommend using other therapies in conjunction with chiropractic ultrasound to improve the results and your quality of life, such as prescribed stretching, deep massages, heat therapy, and chiropractic adjustments.
If you’ve recently suffered a traumatic injury to your back, whether it was from a fall, a pulled muscle, or a car crash, then it’s important to engage in regular core strengthening exercises. This can build strength back up after recovery, as well as help reduce your risk for future injuries. To do our part for your chiropractic core care, here are three of our favorite core strengthening exercises that will help you experience less pain and injuries:
- Teepee tilt – To do this one, you start in a normal plank position with your feet on a folded towel or blanket. When ready, slide your feet forward while keeping your legs straight until your body resembles the shape of a teepee. Hold for one to two seconds, then go back to plank pose.
- Hip thrusts – This one is as simple as it sounds. Lie on your back with your knees bent and your hand on your ribs. Lift your hips from the floor until your thighs are even with your body in a straight line, tightening your core muscles as you go. Relax, then repeat.
- All fours core – For this exercise, get on all fours with your hands shoulder width apart. Arch your back toward the ceiling with your head hanging down, tightening your muscles and pulling your stomach in towards your spine. Hold for two counts, then allow your back to relax and swoop towards the ground with your head held up, stretching your chest and stomach. Hold for a count or two, then repeat.
