Benefits of Therapeutic Exercise in Treating Lumbar Disc and Back Pain
Explanation by Dr. Ali Nemati:
• Therapeutic exercise can improve various types of back pain and lumbar disc disorders.
• Exercise has multiple effects on the body, providing extensive therapeutic benefits that help address the root causes of back pain.
Some therapeutic benefits of exercise:
1. Weight reduction and achieving a healthy weight: Regular exercise helps obese individuals lose weight, reducing pressure on the spine. This alleviates and treats back pain caused by excess weight.
Additional Note: Beyond weight reduction, therapeutic exercise strengthens back and abdominal muscles, improves spinal flexibility, and increases balance and endurance, all of which reduce pain and prevent further injury.
