Exercise. Minster back pain sufferers hear
the advice to exercise often. Minster Chiropractic Center
recommends it, too. Exercise keeps showing its
benefit for relief of low back pain and its prevention…and a new report shows benefit for better
sleep quality!
EXERCISE FOR RELIEF OF THE BURDEN OF LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain is a problem for the low back pain
sufferer, the family, the community, and the healthcare system. Healthcare
providers and researchers examine suggested
long-term ways to reduce 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) Minster Chiropractic Center
offers itself as the Minster back pain specialty clinic that many back pain sufferers visit.
BACK PAIN SPECIALIST’S PLAN FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF ADDS EXERCISE
Numerous chronic back pain sufferers take
themselves to their primary care practitioners
first. it is a pretty standard routing. Primary
care recommendations for chronic low back pain care often
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 undergo the treatment
recommendation for 1 of the treatment recipients to find
benefit. In this recent 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 three options, exercise was the only intervention that showed
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. Minster Chiropractic Center always incorporates it in the
Minster chiropractic treatment plan. Exercise puts some
control of chronic low back pain in our Minster chiropractic
patients’ hands.
WHAT ABOUT SLEEP AND EXERCISE?
Another advantageous patient-controlled
option is the sleep and exercise option.
Lack of sleep – time and/or quality – is an issue for so many
Minster chiropractic patients. Minster Chiropractic Center often hears our
patients discuss sleep difficulties. Sleep is rejuvenating
for the body and the mind. Exercise is manytimes prescribed to
address sleep and mood issues. A noteworthy study about
the relationship between sleep and exercise highlights some interesting
findings in young men and women. Each is different! Men who exercised more often
reported falling asleep quicker, less daytime issues,
and less depressive mood. Women who exercised more frequently went
to bed early, experienced improved sleep
quality, and reported more benefit from sleep, less depressive
mood, and less anger. (3) Regular exercise is important for so many issues!
