Exercising

A fundamental choice to having a healthy mind, body, and soul.

Cardiovascular and strengthening exercises combined with chiropractic care are important in the management of lower back pain. If a chiropractic patient has a history of heart problems, it is important for the patient to consult with their Primary Care Physician to be certain they can tolerate cardiovascular fitness activities.

Specific instructions are given by the chiropractor with respect to proper exercise for the patient’s condition before beginning any exercises. Programs, in general, require a reasonable amount of exercise that is performed daily and utilizes activities that are enjoyed are recommended for patients undergoing chiropractic treatment.

Overall and when combined with chiropractic care, exercise helps promote proper digestion, keeps the muscles in proper tone, and promotes better circulation. Walking basically around the block at least once or twice a day is a convenient and popular activity. Also, many forms of work and/or household tasks can function as an exercise program. The important point is to exercise!


Types of exercise for chiropractic care.
With respect to low back pain, there are many applicable exercises that are available for patients also, undergoing chiropractic care for lower back pain. One can classify the chiropractic patient into a flexion or extension biased category to determine the variety that is best for that patient.

Low Back

If a patient feels best when bending over (flexion Biased), exercises that promote low back pain such as pulling the knees to the chest, posterior pelvic tilts, bending forward from a sitting position and others are usually helpful.

Legs

If a patient is least symptomatic in extension, especially if leg pain centralizes or diminishes (Extension Biased)

Trunk

Strengthening of the pelvic stabilizing muscles (Trunk Muscles), hamstrings, adductors, and other overly short or tight postural muscles, as well as proprioceptive or balance promoting exercises also can result in a greater patient satisfying outcome.

I came to see Dr. Andrew when I was pregnant and his care did wonders in managing the pain of my last trimester! The pain in my hips and back were so bad at times and regular visits with him helped keep things aligned, which lessened the pain greatly. So glad to have such a great chiropractor for my family!

Eastview Chiropractic is a pleasant place to go. Dr. Erlandson is always on his A game and got the job done after my car accident. He brings charisma to the table and gives you undivided attention. He works from the heart. At the front desk, you have Julie & Kim, they bring so much positive energy into the room that you leave out with a smile. Emilie, the massage therapist, she goes above & beyond. So many techniques under her belt. So knowledgeable. So caring. I walked out feeling like a new person. At the end of the day, I highly recommend going to Eastview. You will be leaving happy and healed.

After seeing many chiropractors in my 40+ years of seeking chiropractic treatment, I would honestly have to say that Dr. Erlandson, is by far, the BEST! He is kind, compasionate, and knows exactly where the "trigger points" in my neck & shoulder areas are & when I leave, I feel so much better. He also has shown me some exercises to do at home; and has his patients' best interest in mind. I would recommend him to anyone who is seeking an outstanding chiropractor!

I started seeing Dr. Erlandson in the fall of 2012 for lower back pain. I’ve been to several chiropractors over the years and I have never had just a great adjustment. No pressure for several additional visits yet you know that he’s done such a thorough job! Dr. Erlandson takes such pride in his work and wants to make sure he’s done everything he can for you! His professional, compassionate, friendly and all around just a great doctor! His staff is always friendly and they make you feel so comfortable! I’ve had several massages from Emilie and she is fantastic at what she does! My son also see’s Dr. Erlandson and has been gone for 7 months at Basic Training and Advanced Training for the Army. He saw Dr. Erlandson right before he left and when we picked him up from the airport after our hello’s the first thing he asked for was for me to see if Dr. Erlandson could see him the next day! If you want to be treated by professionals that truly care about you then you’ve found the right place! I would recommend Eastview to anyone I know!

I have been a patient of Dr. Erlandson's and Eastview Family Chiropractic since summer. I am a dental hygienist who always has sore shoulders, neck and back from the awkward positions I sometimes have to use. The frequent adjustments and tissue massage will extend my career. I'm so glad I found this clinic.

I was referred to Dr. Erlandson by my wife and my daughter. They have both had wonderfull results and continue to go to him for help with neck and back problems. Dr Erlandson examined me and said I wasn't in need of his services, which says a lot for his integrity.
