I am regularly asked “what else can I do at home and work to improve my posture?”
This is exactly where the stability disc comes into play. Core stability exercises are extremely effective at reducing the symptoms of chronic low back pain.
With the amount of time that we spend sitting at work and home in prolonged positions of poor posture, it is no wonder 80% of the world’s population will experience back pain in their lifetime. As well as the general effect that back pain has on your daily life it is also the condition for opioid prescription.
By talking with a chiropractor who is passionate about reducing your symptoms you are taking your first step to relieving your pain and continuing on your health journey. Spinal manipulation is great at treating low back pain. If you want to get the most out of your care and reduce your symptoms faster, a stability disc is an awesome way to continue your care at home.
Using it at work or at home, it works to strengthen your core muscles (these aren’t your abs!) and this strengthens around your spine, and allows your body to better support itself!
