Exercise to Strengthen Muscle in Women Helps with Manahawkin Back Pain Relief
Low back pain in older women requires some attention. Researchers and chiropractic back pain specialists like your Manahawkin chiropractor at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center provide that attention! Women who suffer back pain are a special subset of our chiropractic practice with whom we are happy to work!
OLDER WOMEN AND Manahawkin BACK PAIN
A recent study reported that low back pain among older women is linked to abdominal truck muscle weakness. The women included in this study also experienced decreased mobility function. Even their knee extensor muscle strength was weak. What links these issues together? Muscle. Researchers explained that muscle weakness directly tied low back pain, malnutrition, and reduced mobility function in older women. The good news was emphasized that exercise improved these issues.

EXERCISE AND BACK PAIN RELIEF
Manahawkin chiropractic patients with back pain want pain relief. That’s the aim of care. Our patients frequently see other healthcare providers who recommend options like oral NSAIDs (number needed to treat (NNT) is 7 indicating sever patients need to be treated for 1 patient to report benefit) and SNRIs like duloxetine (NNT: 10) and exercise (NNT: 7). A new study found that these options many times deliver clinically meaningful pain reduction as shown by the above number-needed-to-treat stats. Which works over time though? Exercise. The researchers wrote that the single intervention that showed sustained benefit after the study’s intervention time period came to an end was exercise. (2) We share this to foster the practice of exercise for all our Manahawkin back pain (and neck pain) patients. Since this is an article focused about women with low back pain, Manahawkin Chiropractic Center encourages our female patients who are a little older to exercise. It is part of the chiropractic treatment plan that involves simple exercises as the starting point!
