​Why I treat the abdominal Oblique’s when treating low back Pain?

Low Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek the care of their Chiropractor. Understanding the mechanism of injury and the weakness of each individual helps to treat the patients faster
As important as it is to treat everything below the pelvis (“Gluts, Piriformis) it is equally important to treat the muscles attaching about the pelvic line. Oblique activating can have a tremendous effect of low back pain.
Strengthen the muscles and stimulating the nerves will increase core strength and decrease the intensity and frequency of low back pain.

Back to the Basics.

The one exercise that everyone should do to stabilize their core;
The Abdominal Hollow
To hollow your abdominal muscles, contract your pelvic floor, pulling it up. Then pull your belly button in toward your spine. This up-and-in contraction is so small, it's imperceptible to others. If you try to hollow too much, different muscles will kick in and your pelvis will scoop under. Without it, your back muscles dominate and overarch your lower back. Your goal is a relaxed, neutral pelvis.
​
This exercise will help stabilize your core and protect your low back from future injury.
