Chronic low back pain (CLBP) negatively impacts life for its sufferers. Fort Wayne chronic low back pain
sufferers want their lives back. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic
offers a chiropractic treatment plan with options that do exactly
that. The treatment plan often involves chiropractic
spinal manipulation like Cox® Technic along with gentle
exercise and nutrition. A couple new
insights about effective exercise interventions are shared here
for our Fort Wayne back pain patients’ consideration as it is
for you to decide to select what exercise works
for you!
WALKING AND MIND-BODY THERAPIES: Gentle Exercise Options
Walking works, so do mind-body therapies like yoga. An analysis
of 31 randomized control trials of 3193 participants, walking came across as effective as control interventions for short term relief of
chronic low back pain and slightly superior for intermediate
term pain relief and activity limitation improvement while yoga was more beneficial
to reduce pain and improve activity
in the short term. Doing both yoga and walking
was proposed as a valuable combination
for CLBP patients. (1) In an analysis of 18
randomized controlled trials, yoga reportedly decreased pain in the short to intermediate term and to improve
functional disability from short to long term compared to
non-exercise, usual care, and education. But it had the same
effects on pain and disability as other exercise modes or physical therapy.
(2) Most everyone can walk. Some enjoy physical
therapy exercise. Most can perform yoga if they want.
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic understands that not every exercise option may be
our Fort Wayne back pain sufferer’s “thing”! Options
are key to participation...and Aaron Chiropractic Clinic has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One set of researchers wrote that current
evidence doesn’t propose that any one
form of exercise is superior to any other for back
pain relief. That’s interesting! They did state that
exercise is modestly effective treatment for chronic low back pain,
a significant health and socioeconomic issue (cost,
disability, missed work). The most
common form of exercise for back pain relief was reported as motor control exercise which works
on the deep muscles and their coordination. Reportedly not
superior to other forms of exercise, motor control exercise should
be an alternative for chronic low back pain patients among
other types of exercise. The researchers indicated
that the choice should be up to the patient and his/her doctor/therapist as to what
works. (3) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic chats with each Fort Wayne back
pain sufferer to find out what exercise will work and will be
performed. That is the key!
