Looking for lasting low back pain relief? It may be time to focus on your core—the real core. At Health Touch Chiropractic in Tigard, OR, we help patients in Tigard OR target the right muscles for spinal stability, injury prevention, and long-term comfort. Hint: it’s not just about crunches!
The True Core: More Than Abs
While most people think “abs” when they hear “core,” the real stabilizers of your spine include the Transversus Abdominis, Multifidus, Diaphragm, and Pelvic Floor. These deep muscles work in sync to protect your back during every movement. When even one is underperforming, especially the Transversus Abdominis, your lower spine is left vulnerable to strain and injury.
Reactivation Before Strength
Chronic low back pain often goes hand-in-hand with delayed or weakened activation of these core muscles. That’s why strengthening exercises alone may fall flat. At Health Touch Chiropractic, we start by re-training your nervous system to properly engage the core—before layering in strength work. This neuromuscular approach leads to better results and fewer setbacks.
Chiropractic + Core: A Winning Combo
Our chiropractic care in Tigard OR corrects spinal misalignments that may be blocking your core activation. Once the nervous system is functioning optimally, we guide you through a tailored plan of stabilization, control, and strengthening exercises designed to build lasting support from the inside out.
