How long will it take to strengthen back after doing exercise for back pain?
Patient: had lower back pain for 3 months now and was told this was due to a weak back...esp gets weak as the day goes on, sitting and standing make it worse.how long will it take to strenthen my back as being doing exercises for 2 months and still not much better Doctor: Dear patient.Greetings from health care magic!!!  I am Dr Thakker and shall be answering your question.Back strengthening exercises usually increase the back muscle tone within 2 weeks time. It also depends on the type of exercise, duration and the correct technique. I would advice you to visit a physiotherapist to learn back extension exercises. If you are gym going, I am sure you would have access to the back extension machine, rowing exercised and traps pull down.I hope this helps you out. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to write back to me.Yours sincerely,Dr Thakker.
