Exercise. Fort Wayne back pain sufferers hear
the advice to exercise often. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc
recommends it, also. Exercise continues to show its
benefit for relief of low back pain and its prevention…and a new report reveals benefit for improved
sleep quality!
EXERCISE FOR RELIEF OF THE BURDEN OF LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain is a burden for the low back pain
sufferer, the family, the community, and the healthcare system. Healthcare
providers and researchers investigate proposed
long-term ways to decrease this problem for whose
sufferers’ disability continues. Exercise leads the list of
non-invasive, non-drug general recommendations along with manual therapy and
massage. (1) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc
offers itself as the Fort Wayne back pain specialty clinic that many back pain sufferers visit.
BACK PAIN SPECIALIST’S PLAN FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF ADDS EXERCISE
Many chronic back pain sufferers take
themselves to their primary care practitioners
first. It’s a pretty standard routing. Primary
care recommendations for chronic low back pain care usually
involve exercise, oral prescriptions of NSAIDs and SNRI’s like duloxetine. In research,
there is a curious statistic called “number to treat”
which denotes the number of patients with a certain
condition who need to go through the treatment
recommendation for 1 of them to report
benefit. In this new 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 demonstrated
sustained chronic low back pain relief after the intervention
ended and up to 48 weeks later. (2) Exercise is a valuable,
self-management, non-drug alternative for chronic low back pain
patients. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc always incorporates it in the
Fort Wayne chiropractic treatment plan. Exercise puts some
control of chronic low back pain in our Fort Wayne chiropractic
patients’ hands.
WHAT ABOUT SLEEP AND EXERCISE?
An additional advantageous patient-controlled
option is sleep-and-exercise.
Lack of sleep – time and/or quality – is a problem for so many
Fort Wayne chiropractic patients. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc often hears our
patients bring up sleep difficulties. Sleep is rejuvenating
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 women and men. Each is different! Men who exercised more frequently
reported falling asleep faster, less daytime issues,
and less depressive mood. Women who exercised more often went
to bed early, had better sleep
quality, and described more benefit from sleep, less depressive
mood, and less anger. (3) Regular exercise is key for so many concerns!
