Manahawkin Back Pain Relief with Exercise & Chiropractic
As any Manahawkin back pain patient understands, finding relief can be a challenge. You may have tried multiple treatments and healthcare providers. But did you know that exercise could be just the right addition to your attempts at getting back pain relief? According to the CHAMPS Study-DK, links between cardiovascular disease risk factors and spinal pain may be affected by sex and health-related physical activity. (1) Namely, exercise can help decrease back pain. Let’s take a look at how this works.
HOW EXERCISE HELPS WITH Manahawkin BACK PAIN RELIEF
Exercise has proven itself beneficial for those suffering from chronic back pain in several ways. First, it strengthens core and lower back muscles which support your spine and reduce strain on it. Strengthening these muscles can help alleviate some of the pressure placed on your spine and reduce the amount of back pain you feel due to bad posture or poor habits like slouching. Additionally, exercise helps boost flexibility in your joints; it enhances blood circulation which helps promote healing; and it releases endorphins which are natural pain killers that help reduce inflammation associated with chronic back pain. (2,3) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center combines Cox® Technic spinal manipulation that reduces intradiscal pressures (Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. William Hoffman on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he describes the Cox® Technic and its research showing drops in intradiscal pressure.) with exercises that are shown to reduce pain for optimal patient outcomes.
STARTING EXERCISE
It is valuable to realize that when initiating an exercise program for Manahawkin back pain relief, you should start slowly and gradually up the intensity over time as your body adjusts. It’s also important to select low-impact exercises like walking or swimming rather than high impact exercises such as running or jumping as these can put additional strain on your spine and irritate rather than help. With that, moderate aerobic exercise mixing strengthening and stretching exercises has been shown to be useful in decreasing lower back pain for many back pain sufferers with chronic conditions like back pain. Manahawkin back pain patients have a great exercise partner at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center as researchers write that chiropractors actively promote (and participate in their own) physical activity by offering exercise information, asking patients about their physical activity level, and advising back pain patients about proper exercises for their specific conditions.
