Exercise. Tonawanda back pain sufferers hear
the recommendation to exercise often. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation
recommends it, also. Exercise keeps showing its
benefit for relief of low back pain and its prevention…plus a new report shows benefit for improved
sleep quality!
EXERCISE FOR RELIEF OF THE BURDEN OF LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain is a problem for the low back pain
sufferer, the family, the community, and the healthcare system. Healthcare
providers and researchers examine proposed
long-term methods to decrease this problem for whose
sufferers’ disability continues. Exercise tops the list of
non-invasive, non-drug general recommendations with manual therapy and massage in that list as well. (1) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation
is the Tonawanda back pain specialty clinic to
which many back pain sufferers see.
BACK PAIN SPECIALIST’S PLAN FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF ADDS EXERCISE
Numerous chronic back pain sufferers find themselves going to their primary care practitioners
first. It’s a pretty normal experience. Primary
care recommendations for chronic low back pain care often
involve exercise, oral prescriptions of NSAIDs and SNRI’s like duloxetine. In research,
there is an interesting statistic called “number to treat”
which denotes the number of patients with a certain
condition who need to undergo the treatment
recommendation for 1 of the treatment recipients to find
benefit. In this recent study, the number to treat for 1 chronic low
back pain patient to report benefit from exercise was 7, from NSAIDs 6, and SNRIs
10. Of these 3 options, exercise was the only intervention that showed
continued chronic low back pain relief after the intervention
ended and up to 48 weeks later. (2) Exercise is a useful,
self-management, non-drug option for chronic low back pain
patients. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation always incorporates it in the
Tonawanda chiropractic treatment plan. Exercise puts some
control of chronic low back pain in our Tonawanda chiropractic
patients’ hands.
WHAT ABOUT SLEEP AND EXERCISE?
Another advantageous patient-controlled
option is sleep-and-exercise.
Lack of sleep – time and/or quality – is an issue for so many
Tonawanda chiropractic patients. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation often hears our
patients talk about sleep difficulties. Sleep is rejuvenating
for the body and the mind. Exercise is manytimes prescribed to
address sleep and mood issues. A noteworthy study about
the relationship between sleep and exercise features some interesting
findings in young women and men. Each is different! Men who exercised more frequently
reported falling asleep faster, less daytime trouble,
and less depressive mood. Women who exercised more frequently went
to bed earlier, experienced better sleep
quality, and described more benefit from sleep, less depressive
mood, and less anger. (3) Regular exercise is key for so many issues!
