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 was
found to be as effective as control interventions for short term relief of
chronic low back pain and somewhat superior for intermediate
term pain relief and activity limitation improvement while yoga was more effective
for pain and activity limitation improvement
in the short term. Combining both walking and yoga
was suggested to be a beneficial 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 equal
effects on pain and disability as other exercise types or physical therapy.
(2) Most everyone can walk. Some like physical
therapy exercise. Most can perform yoga if they so desire.
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc understands that not every exercise option may be
our Fort Wayne back pain sufferer’s "cup of tea”! Options
are essential to participation...and Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One group of researchers wrote that current
evidence does not propose that any single
form of exercise is superior to any other for back
pain relief. That is interesting! They did state that
exercise is modestly effective treatment for chronic low back pain,
a substantial health and socioeconomic issue (cost,
disability, missed work). The most
common type of exercise for back pain relief was described as
being motor control exercise which works
on the deep muscles and their coordination. Reportedly not
superior to other types of exercise, motor control exercise should
be an alternative for chronic low back pain patients among
other forms of exercise. The researchers suggested
that the choice should be up to the patient and his/her doctor/therapist as to what
works. (3) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc chats with each Fort Wayne back
pain sufferer to learn about what exercise will work and will be
performed. That is the most important factor!
