Exercise. Manahawkin back pain sufferers get
the advice to exercise a lot. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center
recommends it, also. Exercise continues to show its
benefit for low back pain relief
and 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 burden 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) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center
is the Manahawkin back pain specialty clinic to
which many back pain sufferers see.
BACK PAIN SPECIALIST’S PLAN FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF ADDS EXERCISE
Many chronic back pain sufferers find themselves going to their primary care practitioners
first. it is a pretty normal experience. Primary
care recommendations for chronic low back pain care typically
involve exercise, oral prescriptions of NSAIDs and SNRI’s like duloxetine. In research,
there is an interesting 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 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 demonstrated
continued chronic low back pain relief after the intervention
ended and up to 48 weeks later. (2) Exercise is a valued,
self-management, non-drug option for chronic low back pain
patients. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center always incorporates it in the
Manahawkin chiropractic treatment plan. Exercise places some
control of chronic low back pain in our Manahawkin chiropractic
patients’ hands.
WHAT ABOUT SLEEP AND EXERCISE?
An additional beneficial patient-controlled
alternative is sleep-and-exercise.
Lack of sleep – time and/or quality – is a problem for so many
Manahawkin chiropractic patients. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center often hears our
patients bring up sleep difficulties. Sleep is rejuvenating
for the body and the mind. Exercise is often prescribed to
address sleep and mood issues. A noteworthy study about
the relationship between sleep and exercise highlights some interesting
findings in young women and men. There
are differences for each! Men who exercised more often
reported falling asleep faster, less daytime issues,
and less depressive mood. Women who exercised more frequently went
to bed earlier, had improved sleep
quality, and reported more benefit from sleep, less depressive
mood, and less anger. (3) Regular exercise is key for so many issues!
