Exercise. Fort Wayne back pain sufferers get
the advice to exercise a lot. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic
recommends it, too. Exercise continues to show its
benefit for relief of low back pain and its prevention…plus a new report reveals 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 investigate suggested
long-term methods to decrease this problem for whose
sufferers’ disability continues. Exercise leads the list of
non-invasive, non-drug general recommendations with manual therapy and massage in that list as well. (1) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic
is the Fort Wayne back pain specialty clinic to
which many back pain sufferers see.
BACK PAIN SPECIALIST’S PLAN FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF ADDS EXERCISE
Many chronic back pain sufferers visit their primary care practitioners
first. It’s a pretty normal experience. Primary
care recommendations for chronic low back pain care typically
involve exercise, oral prescriptions of NSAIDs and SNRI’s like duloxetine. In research,
there is a curious statistic called “number to treat”
which implies the number of patients with a certain
condition who need to have it done the treatment
recommendation for 1 of them to get
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. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic always includes it in the
Fort Wayne chiropractic treatment plan. Exercise places some
control of chronic low back pain in our Fort Wayne chiropractic
patients’ hands.
WHAT ABOUT SLEEP AND EXERCISE?
Another advantageous patient-controlled
alternative is sleep-and-exercise.
Lack of sleep – time and/or quality – is an issue for so many
Fort Wayne chiropractic patients. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic often hears our
patients discuss sleep difficulties. Sleep is renewing
for the body and the mind. Exercise is often prescribed to
address sleep and mood issues. A noteworthy study about
the relationship between sleep and exercise features some interesting
findings in young men and women. 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 early, experienced improved sleep
quality, and described more benefit from sleep, less depressive
mood, and less anger. (3) Regular exercise is important for so many concerns!
