Manahawkin Chiropractic Plan for Pain Relief and Prevention with Exercise

April 20, 2021

“Must I exercise?”

“Only exercise if you want to feel better faster and prevent pain,“ your Manahawkin chiropractic encourages.

“How much time do I have to spend exercising each day?”

“Not long, just properly,” Manahawkin Chiropractic Center advises.

Exercise is not every Manahawkin back pain or neck pain patient’s ’thing’. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center understands. Exercise is also so important to our back and neck pain patient’s recovery and future prevention of the pain. We are with our Manahawkin chiropractic patients all along the way to make the most of the exercise effort so that it pays off in pain relief and prevention.

OPTIMAL NECK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES

Neck pain sufferers realize how pain may decrease their ability to look around comfortably. Such neck pain patients were tested for their cervical range of motion and pain intensity with a flexion-rotation test. They were then instructed to do a 20-minutes cervical spine exercise session. 50% of them were then also treated with manual therapy applied to the C0-C1 and C2-C3 cervical spine levels. Those who performed the exercise program and received manual therapy managed significantly better in terms of range of motion, pain intensity reduction, and the flexion-rotation test. (1) Another study found that the optimal stretching time of cervical muscles in patients with chronic myofascial pain syndrome was 30 seconds as opposed to 15 or 60 seconds or no stretching. This allowed the most benefit to pain intensity decrease while minimizing any negative effects on neural function of the affected nerve roots and central nervous system. (2) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center always stresses that the appropriate exercise performed in the right way does not have to take long to be effective! Additionally, exercise places some control in the hands of its sufferer since exercise can be performed anytime.

OPTIMAL LOW BACK PAIN EXERCISE GUIDES

Incorporating exercise training into the multidisciplinary treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain makes sense. Such back pain affects so many people worldwide and is a foremost source of disability. Proper exercise training transitions the back pain sufferer to self-management. Recently, researchers posed that pain intensity and disability - and even mental health issues in these back pain patients - were enhanced with options like resistance and aerobic exercise while Pilates, resistance exercise, yoga, and stabilization exercise. (3) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center agrees! Exercise is valuable on so many fronts.
