Core Strengthening Exercises to Help with Back Pain

Did you know that a weak core can make back pain worse?

Let’s face it: we all dread the “ab circuit” part of our weekly workouts. However, a strong core is one of the best defenses against developing back pain and maintaining optimal performance in athletes.

Do this core strengthening circuit 2 times per day and hold each position for 10 seconds if you can:

  • Bird dog left (on all fours, stretch out left arm and right leg and hold for 10 seconds)
  • Bird dog right (on all fours, stretch out right arm and left leg and hold for 10 seconds)
  • Front plank (on elbows, core tight, and back straight (not hunched))
  • Right side plank
  • Left side plank

Paired with regular chiropractic care, with stretching you’ll feel relief sooner rather than later! For those who prefer a more detailed explanation, please view the exercises in our online video library – call our office at 734-663-2300 to get access!
