Research has shown that people who are physically fit are less likely to have back pain, injuries, and will also recover much faster from injuries than those who are less physically fit.
The abdominal and back muscles help to stabilize the spine allowing proper spinal movement and correct posture. Also, having strong leg and hip muscles allow for proper lifting techniques and body mechanics.
Strengthening back and abdominal muscles can help to relieve back pain, provide energy and give a feeling of wellness making daily routine activities much easier.
As always if you are experiencing back pain be sure to check with your chiropractor before starting an exercise routine.

When my son Blake was 3 weeks old he was diagnosed with sleep apnea. Every time he would sleep he would fall into such a deep sleep that he would forget to breathe. His doctors put him on an apnea monitor that he wore all day. If he would stop breathing for 20 seconds the monitor would start beeping to notify me and I would then wake him or startle him enough that he would catch his breath. I brought him to see Dr. Grice. After his 1st adjustment, that day, I noticed improvement. From then, Blake was adjusted 2-3 times per week and he would breath normally throughout his days and nights. If I had missed or needed to change an appointment, even for one day, the monitor would alarm numerous times per night. Just after his 1st Birthday, he grew out of the apnea. I have faith that Dr. Grice assisted in Blake’s recovery from his condition. Now Blake plays football for the Brookline Knights and we maintain his chiropractic care, with as well as the care for my other two sons, my husband, and myself. I am very grateful for everyone at Grice Chiropractic and how our lives have benefited because of them.
