Guidelines. There are guidelines everywhere!
This post talks about some of the newer
guidelines for interprofessional teamwork between chiropractors and other
healthcare providers to boost the healing of New Roads back
pain and neck pain sufferers. Exercises are a core part of back
pain prevention alongside management that all providers encourage
and all providers worry are not
always carried out. Chiropractors like your own
at New Roads Chiropractic Center are health promoters and work to do that in the kindest,
most helpful way! We can work
together to get you better.
GUIDELINES FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Quality in healthcare delivery is talked
about so much. Providers and
patients want the highest quality care possible in
delivering care and getting care. Interprofessional
collaboration is on the top of the list when researchers
evaluate systems for the care of back pain like proper
use of screening and preventive services. (1) Researchers have also assembled 70 quality markers for chiropractic
delivery that are standardized and evidence-based that take
into consideration patient concerns and higher
clinical outcomes. (2) Physical activity certainly is a part
of a quality chiropractic healthcare plan for New Roads pain relief.
BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR BACK PAIN AND NECK PAIN
In a recent survey, chiropractors said
that the biggest concern they had in managing back
pain patients was patient follow through (exercises, appointments, at-home recommendations,
etc.). (3) In another survey, 90% of chiropractors stated
that they were optimistic about healthier patient
lifestyles. These chiropractors also shared that they were actively
involved in promoting physical activity, suggesting
exercises to patients for their particular issue, asking
how the exercises are going, and advising patients in the
proper technique to do exercises as well as value of doing
exercises. (4) One way that patients seem
to follow through more positively and be more willing to do
physical activity is the use of a mobile application. Such
apps help manage low back and neck pain patients when they
are built around reported pain, pain intensity, and structure of the app like audio
explanation and animation of each exercise. (5) Doing the right exercises in the right way is the most helpful.
ADD IN SOME DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING!
Core stabilization exercises are commonly
recommended to back pain patients. One new study that added
in diaphragmatic breathing exercises found many benefits
for chronic low back pain patients: enhanced muscle activity, chest
expansion, quality of sleep, improved disability and physical activity
and pain scores, decreased fear avoidance, and higher
physical activity, among others. (6) As a part of
your healthcare team, your chiropractor at New Roads Chiropractic Center feels a responsibility
to encourage physical activity so that you can manage your own
health a bit more. Our younger back pain and neck pain sufferers benefit.
Our older adults with aches and pains and/or New Roads back
pain and/or neck pain benefit, too!
