Stretching Exercises for Your Back Pain

Back pain can be debilitating, preventing you from completing daily activities. It is also treatable. At Duben Holistic Chiropractic Center, we have found that stretching exercises are an excellent way to reduce back pain. These exercises also enhance the effectiveness of chiropractic care.  We are the premier chiropractic care center in Westlake Village, and our solutions are risk-free.

Exercises to Stretch Your Back

Back muscles can stretch and tear due to heavy lifting. Joints become inflexible and start looking for a range of reasons, including poor posture, age, and lifting heavy objects. Weak joints and inflammation in the muscles respond well to targeted back stretches. Stretching has a range of benefits on the back muscles and joints, which include the following.

Easing Pain

Stretching helps to flex the muscles and tendons in the joints. This flexing sensation may feel painful at first, but it helps ease the pain substantially in minutes while also conditioning the muscles and joints for long-term pain relief.

Improving Blood Flow

Stretching also triggers the production of endorphin and other natural healing hormones. It also opens up the blood vessels and gets the heart pumping, making it easier for blood and nutrients to reach injured areas, improving mobility, and promoting healing.

Improving Flexibility

Back pain is often associated with cramped muscles and injured joints. This is why it feels difficult and painful moving around. However, stretching exercises help improve mobility by treating the pain and lubricating the joints.
