Corrective exercises are simple and effective stretching techniques that are created specifically for each client. When choosing a chiropractor in the Richardson, Plano, Dallas, TX area, be sure to choose one that is part of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners and has a NBCE Physical Rehabilitation certificate.

The Benefits of Corrective Exercises

These stretches are a vital component to a successful recovery because they can help strengthen and correct many imbalances of the body. Many individuals perform activities that are the direct trigger for the pain they are feeling. Corrective exercises are designed to undo all of the imbalances and compensations that the body makes during a normal day and restore correct structure.

Types of Corrective Exercise

Corrective exercises address imbalances and deviations in an organized manner. First, damaged and stressed tissue structures are reconditioned and rejuvenated before stretching or strengthening movements begin. Therefore, a chiropractor in Richardson creates a program with the following goals in mind:

  1. Regenerate and release the fascia, muscles and tendons
  2. Realign and increase blood flow and range of movement to structures
  3. Strengthen the muscles and challenge the nervous system.

Lower Back Pain

Poor posture, aging and wear and tear, and sports related injuries and car accidents are common causes of lower back pain. Corrective exercise programs to relieve lower back pain focus on stabilizing and strengthening the deep spine and major muscles of and around the low back. Stretching and rolling or a gentle massage are easy ways to start working on low back pain. Then, strengthening exercises are essential in managing and preventing future pain.

Upper Back Pain

Pain in your upper back may be the result of:

  • Overhead activities, such as serving a tennis ball or reaching up to a high shelf
  • Rowing
  • Carrying a heavy backpack, especially if you carry it over just one shoulder
  • Poor posture, especially while you are using a computer for a long time

To address upper back pain, you will need to stop doing the activity that is causing the pain, and begin the proper sequence of stretching and strengthening exercises.

How Corrective Exercises are Different from Rehabilitation

Corrective exercises often incorporate stretches and strengthening routines that you can perform at home to enhance your chiropractic care in the office. Some patients also need to see a physical therapist who may use specific equipment to advance treatment and recovery.
