Exercise. West Palm Beach back pain sufferers hear
the advice to exercise often. Moses Chiropractic
recommends it, also. Exercise continues to show its
benefit for low back pain relief
and prevention…plus a new report reveals benefit for better
sleep quality!
EXERCISE FOR RELIEF OF THE BURDEN OF LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain is a problem for the low back pain
sufferer, the family, the community, and the healthcare system. Healthcare
providers and researchers investigate suggested
long-term methods to decrease this problem for whose
sufferers’ disability continues. Exercise tops the list of
non-invasive, non-drug general recommendations with manual therapy and massage in that list as well. (1) Moses Chiropractic
is the West Palm Beach back pain specialty clinic that many back pain sufferers visit.
BACK PAIN SPECIALIST’S PLAN FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF ADDS EXERCISE
Numerous chronic back pain sufferers visit their primary care practitioners
first. It’s a pretty standard routing. Primary
care recommendations for chronic low back pain care often
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 report
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 3 options, exercise was the only intervention that showed
sustained chronic low back pain relief after the intervention
ended and up to 48 weeks later. (2) Exercise is a valued,
self-management, non-drug alternative for chronic low back pain
patients. Moses Chiropractic always includes it in the
West Palm Beach chiropractic treatment plan. Exercise places some
control of chronic low back pain in our West Palm Beach chiropractic
patients’ hands.
WHAT ABOUT SLEEP AND EXERCISE?
Another beneficial patient-controlled
option is the sleep and exercise option.
Lack of sleep – time and/or quality – is an issue for so many
West Palm Beach chiropractic patients. Moses Chiropractic often hears our
patients bring up sleep difficulties. Sleep is rejuvenating
for the body and the mind. Exercise is manytimes 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. Each is different! Men who exercised more frequently
reported falling asleep quicker, less daytime issues,
and less depressive mood. Women who exercised more frequently went
to bed early, experienced better sleep
quality, and reported more benefit from sleep, less depressive
mood, and less anger. (3) Regular exercise is key for so many issues!
