Exercise Improves Sleep and West Palm Beach Back Pain

Better sleep. Less anxiety. Back Pain Relief. What links them together? Exercise! West Palm Beach chiropractic patients come to realize that following this one little suggestion to exercise – even just walking! – in their West Palm Beach chiropractic treatment plan pays off in many ways.

TOO LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PAIN

What is known about the sleep and pain connection? It is known that sleep disturbance and depression affect the back pain patient’s state of mind. Experiencing West Palm Beach back pain can be disheartening if it goes on for too long (more than 12 weeks) without relief as seen in chronic low back pain. (1) Current clinical guidelines all endorse exercise and physical activity for back pain sufferers. Researchers questioned if poor sleep stops these patients from being physically active. (2) Good question! Other researchers then described that such a disruption to sleep is associated with physical inactivity and depression. (2) Sleep allows the body to rest and rejuventate for the next day’s adventures. Without sleep, the chronic back pain sufferer takes on the next day with less than optimal capability. Moses Chiropractic desires all West Palm Beach chiropractic care patients to be fully ready to cope with their West Palm Beach back pain and do what they can for West Palm Beach back pain relief.

WHAT HELPS SLEEP AND PAIN

Exercise is commonly recommended to West Palm Beach back pain sufferers in aiding their path to West Palm Beach back pain relief. Stabilization exercise is written to be very useful in managing sleep disturbance, pain-related disability, depression and anxiety for chronic low back pain patients. In a review of 26 chronic back pain patients who performed stabilization exercise for only 8 weeks straight, everything improved: sleep quality, disability, depression level, and anxiety level. (1) Another study of 1645 people aged 1 to 91 years discovered that improved sleep quality is tied to routine physical activity. This study also learned that patients over 40 years old with chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes had poorer sleep and yet they spent more time lying down.
