No Exercise Often Increases Risk of More Manahawkin Pain & Disease Progression

Do something. Move. Walk. Stretch. Patients who suffer with pain benefit when they do something. No exercising is a risk for deteriorating pain, both pain in the body and pain in the mind in the form of depression. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center sees many Manahawkin back pain patients in pain who also suffer with depression. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center also understands that when our Manahawkin chiropractic patients do something, they improve in body and mind.

NO EXERCISE INCREASES RISK OF STENOSIS PROGRESSION

Spinal stenosis is a familiar diagnosis. It is the decrease of the spinal canal area because of degeneration. A recent study revealed that risk of spinal stenosis progression is greater for those who had spondylolisthesis, had pain (in leg and/or back) when walking, and more severe stenosis. The absence of therapeutic exercise was also found to a risk factor for the advancement of spinal stenosis. (1) Back pain sufferers like those who have spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis benefit from exercise! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center helps each of our chiropractic patients find what exercise is right for them.

EXERCISE ENHANCES FUNCTION

Nonspecific low back pain sufferers improved their functional disability level more with stabilization and/or McKenzie exercises than with conventional exercise programs. (2) Note though that exercise did help, whether or not it was conventional!

EXERCISE IMPROVES DEPRESSION

For many back pain sufferers with specific or non-specific back pain, chronic or not, may well describe themselves as a little blue when their back pain hangs around longer than desired. It’s not unusual. Again, exercise to the rescue! Another study showed that exercise (low dose or moderate-dose strength and conditioning) helped reduce depressive symptoms in adults with chronic low back pain. Blending exercise and manual therapy was a plus! (3) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center brings in as many positive approaches to back pain relief as possible to help our Manahawkin back pain patients! The Cox® Technic System of Spine Pain Management is one of those approaches.
