Doesnt Matter What You Do Just DO!

"I can't walk my dog anymore. It might hurt my back."

This is a frequent fear-avoidance comment from a Tonawanda back pain sufferer. It's natural! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation hears it all the time, but your Tonawanda chiropractor recommends you to exercise, to move, to see that you can still do some normal day to day activities.

A riveting study looked at patients with low back pain who either followed a protocol of pilates (specific trunk exercise) or stationary bike cycling for 8 weeks. The follow-up results at 6 months showed no meaningful variance between the patients who did the bike or the pilates; both groups showed improvement. At 8-weeks, disability was decidedly lower in the pilates group compared to the bike group. Pain was notedly lower for the pilates group participants. Fear-avoidance behaviors were less at 8 weeks for the pilates group and at 6 months for the exercise bike group. Bottomline from the researchers: movement and exercise help. (1) Pick some form of exercise - pilates, at-home exercise, walking, treadmill, yoga - and keep at it. It can't help if you don't do it.

"Doc, I feel great. I can walk my dog around the block and not hurt!"
