not produce the desired results, adding non-drug
therapy for acute low back pain – spinal manipulation – and for chronic or subacute
back pain – spinal manipulation, intensive interdisciplinary rehab, exercise,
acupuncture, massage, yoga, cognitive behavioral therapy - is suggested
by medical physician groups like the American College of Physicians

EXERCISE FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF
Back pain sufferers would like to help themselves
as much as possible. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc knows this. Exercise is shown valuable for non-surgical
pain relief for patients with spinal stenosis. (2) The proper type
of exercise is vital, so we’ll discuss what’s proper for you! Maybe
Pilates would be your “thing”. A study of chronic
musculoskeletal pain patients who tried a Pilates-based
exercise program revealed that the pain patients better functioned
and coped with their pain condition more independently
and effectively. They performed better at work, enjoyed hobbies more, were inspired to keep exercising,
did more to manage their own pain conditions independently. These, in turn, motivated them to experience
a healthier lifestyle. (3) These benefits came
without back surgery.
EXERCISE BEFORE BACK SURGERY
Researchers established a trial of exercise for
back pain patients headed to back surgery. They described
the back pain condition to the patients carefully. They set
up exercise programs for each patient to perform. They
found that back pain patients who underwent
this pre-surgery program of explanation and exercise gained
benefit in several ways: The back pain sufferers felt better
exercising than being inactive while waiting for surgery. The back pain
sufferers’ mental state got
better as they exercised. They had time to reflect on their treatment and lifestyle options. Even patients who didn’t
report symptom improvement responded well to this
program as they felt more confident in being able to
do some self-management of their pain. (4)
