TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN
What is known about
the sleep and pain connection? It’s known that
sleep disturbance and depression alter the back pain
patient’s outlook on life. Having Fort Wayne
back pain can be depressing if it lasts
for too long (more than 12 weeks) without relief as seen in chronic low back pain. (1) Current clinical guidelines all endorse
exercise and physical activity for back pain sufferers. Researchers questioned
if poor sleep stops these patients from exercising. (2) Great question! Other researchers then described
that such a disruption to sleep is associated with physical
inactivity and depression. (2) Sleep permits the body to rest and
regenerate for the next day’s tasks. Without
sleep, the chronic back pain sufferer takes on
the next day with less than optimal ability. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc
desires all Fort Wayne chiropractic care patients to be fully
ready to cope with their Fort Wayne back pain and do what
they can for Fort Wayne back pain relief.
WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN
Exercise is widely suggested
to Fort Wayne back pain sufferers in aiding their
path to Fort Wayne back pain
relief. Stabilization exercise is stated
to be quite useful in the management of
sleep disturbance, pain-related disability, depression and anxiety for chronic
low back pain patients. In a study of 26 chronic back pain
patients who performed stabilization exercise for only 8
weeks straight, everything improved: sleep
quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of
1645 people from 1 to 91 years old found
that improved sleep quality is tied to habitual
physical activity. This study also learned that patients over 40
years of age with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes experienced
poorer sleep though they spent more time lying down. (3) As your Fort Wayne back pain specialist, your Fort Wayne chiropractor takes a look at the whole Fort Wayne back
pain patient and examines any and all factors when suggesting
an exercise strategy personalized for each
