Exercise. New Roads back pain sufferers get
the recommendation to exercise a lot. New Roads Chiropractic Center
recommends it, too. Exercise continues to show its
benefit for relief of low back pain and its prevention…and a new report reveals 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 investigate proposed
long-term methods to reduce this problem for whose
sufferers’ disability continues. Exercise tops the list of
non-invasive, non-drug general recommendations along with manual therapy and
massage. (1) New Roads Chiropractic Center
offers itself as the New Roads back pain specialty clinic to
which many back pain sufferers go.
BACK PAIN SPECIALIST’S PLAN FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF ADDS EXERCISE
Numerous chronic back pain sufferers visit their primary care practitioners
first. It’s 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 indicates the number of patients with a certain
condition who need to have it done the treatment
recommendation for 1 of the treatment recipients to get
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 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 useful,
self-management, non-drug option for chronic low back pain
patients. New Roads Chiropractic Center always includes it in the
New Roads chiropractic treatment plan. Exercise puts some
control of chronic low back pain in our New Roads chiropractic
patients’ hands.
WHAT ABOUT SLEEP AND EXERCISE?
An additional advantageous patient-controlled
alternative is the sleep and exercise option.
Lack of sleep – time and/or quality – is a problem for so many
New Roads chiropractic patients. New Roads Chiropractic Center often hears our
patients talk about sleep difficulties. Sleep is renewing
for the body and the mind. Exercise is manytimes prescribed to
address sleep and mood issues. An interesting study about
the relationship between sleep and exercise features some interesting
findings in young women and men. There
are differences for each! Men who exercised more often
reported falling asleep quicker, less daytime trouble,
and less depressive mood. Women who exercised more frequently went
to bed early, had better sleep
quality, and described more benefit from sleep, less depressive
mood, and less anger. (3) Regular exercise is important for so many concerns!
