Back pain slows life. Back pain disables. Back pain eases
with exercise and care. 50% relief is a good outcome in the world of back pain relief be it with exercise or surgery or non-surgical care like chiropractic. In the non-surgical realm, combining non-surgical, chiropractic care at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic with Cox Technic and exercise even improves the odds for even more back pain relief. In this article, Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is sharing how exercise can really be of value to our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients. Exercise is something our Fort Wayne back pain patients can control; you can choose to exercise or not. Choosing to exercise just boosts your chance of short term and long term relief.
One research team states in their report that
“The
most effective intervention [for back pain] is exercise, with higher benefits
in terms of pain and function.” (1) That's a bold statement though hopeful for Fort Wayne back pain sufferers. Experience of your Fort Wayne chiropractor allows confidence that
back pain relief is possible with a multi-prong approach to care. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic offers
chiropractic care’s multi-prong approach of
spinal manipulation,
exercise,
nutrition, physiological therapeutics and more. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic helps Fort Wayne back pain sufferers regain some
control over their back pain by exercising.
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic will hear our Fort Wayne patients say “Exercise takes so much time.” Some exercises take very little time. Some exercises have multiple
benefits. Learn those, and take less time to exercise. Take for example running
in place – any time, any place. It strengthens the abdominal muscles which
support the spine. (2) The erector spinae muscles in the spine are important in
supporting the spine, too. Ironically, though, the specific-targeting back extension
exercises don’t activate the upper lumbar erector spinae or the lumbosacral
erector spinae as well as simple running. (3) Fort Wayne back pain
patients are in luck then. A little running is effective in multiple ways.
Now, Aaron Chiropractic Clinic knows that chronic non-specific low back
pain influences trunk and lower limb movement (like the knee joint). (4) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic therefore reminds our
Fort Wayne low back pain patients to be careful when walking and/or
running but to keep moving.
If you doubt the good of exercise, consider that exercise
improves pain and function and relieves depression and anxiety related to back
pain. (1) Depression is a real issue when you have back pain. Due to pain or the
fear of pain, Aaron Chiropractic Clinic finds that our Fort Wayne back pain
patients will sometimes avoid doing what they usually do like playing with the grandkids
or gardening or taking the dog for a walk. Researchers report that
exercise done properly helps heal the body and ease the mind!
One last note, especially if you are not an exercise buff,
is that even elite athletes like marathon runners get back pain. As a matter of
fact, half of runners in a half marathon reported back pain. These same runners,
though, report that running the marathon despite their pain improved their pain
(49%) rather than worsened it (27%). (5) Isn’t that inspiring?
Contact Aaron Chiropractic Clinic. Your Fort Wayne
chiropractor isn’t going to insist that you become a marathon runner. Promise!
But Aaron Chiropractic Clinic will be encouraged to exercise: just walk or run (in place or a distance). Whatever exercise is recommended for you will
be for you and no one else! Exercise is one of the prongs in Aaron Chiropractic Clinic’s
Fort Wayne chiropractic care treatment plan for you.
