A new article reports that people with chronic low back pain typically have hip abductor weakness, too. (Spinal Care Clinic concurs as this pairing is seen frequently in this Burlington and Hamilton chiropractic practice.) A simple series of hip abductor exercises helped reduce pain and improve function for a set of older chronic low back pain sufferers. (2) Easy!
